I am curious if I should rack into my secondary fermentation vat. I started my 12 gallon skeeter Pee recipe with fresh blueberries. I started the batch 13 days ago. The original SG was 1.140 and is down to 1.014. the past four days I dropped from 1.050 to the 1.014. should I rack it or should I leave it for another week or so in primary? I am using a red star distillers yeast.

My preference is to rack Lon tannin fruit about 1.030 and then keep under airlovk
With high tannin fruit I will have it on the fruit pulp at least to .009

rack it. It probably needs oxygen for the yeast to finish working. No need to sulphite it until its finished fermenting.
Hazelemere do you think rack and place back in primary or bulk age and airlock? It's getting lots of air in an open container covered and I stir it vigorously twice a day.
rack with an airlock and leave a good gap below the airlock(s) because it may foam after racking.
