I have a batch of wheat ale that finished primary in 3 days so i transferred to secondary...its been in secondary 5 days now and absolutely no activity at all....not 1 bubble...alot of sediment on bottom but no ferment activity, is it possible this beer finished out in just 3 days in primary? should i go ahead and bottle after only 7 days? havent checked hydrometer yet but ill bet its close.

my secondaries never get activity...it's all about conditioning and finishing...it's all good...i would consider racking again given the amount of time you're talking about, but as long as the hydrometer readings are close to the attenuation of your yeast, you are good to go.

^ What b3s said. This is not unusual. You will see activity in the secondary from time to time.
