Another noob question
donredbull:
So I made the mistake of racking my ale into a secondary fermenter. To late to do anything about that. But I have noticed that all activity has stopped in my air lock over the past few days. Do you guys think I would be safe to bottle at this point or should I test the gravity for a couple consecutive days and make sure that it doesnt change?
dmtaylor:
Test gravity today, wait 3 days, test gravity again. If it changed, wait another 3 days, and check again. Once it stays the same over 3 days, it's ready to roll. If you bottle too early, you can get bombs.
theDarkSide:
Definitely test the gravity for a couple days. If it doesn't move and you're close to final gravity, bottle it up.

I agree with above. How long was it in primary?
donredbull:
Thanks again for the help and it was in primary for 12 days
