How long can I leave my Double IPA in the Primary Fermenter? Its been 2 weeks now and its still going good. It still has about 1/2 in of kraeusen and is bubbling out the air lock at about a 20 second clip. This is my first Double. I have a secondary open. What should I do?

Leaving your brew in the primary can only allow good things to happen (with in reason) racking it to soon can cause many bad things to happen. Leave it until its ready to be racked.

No reason to be concerned until 6 or 8 weeks. When I am feeling lazy and skip doing a secondary, I often leave a beer in primary for a month.
