Secondary Fermention
majorvices:
All bubbles in the airlock mean is that Co2 is coming out of solution, which is not necessarily an indication of fermentation. Rely on your hydrometer reading. When you get a constant reading separated by 3 or more days and a reasonable attenuation for that strain of yeast you are done!

I have seen that when the yeast go from sugar to the VDKs, that is secondary fermentation.
We use primary and secondary fermenters.

Cool. I thought yeast 'cleaning up' a beer might be considered fermentation, but I didn't know what it was called.
