So, after resisting to start a new post and searching/reading other posts, I broke down.
I brewed an Autumn Amber Ale extract kit from Midwest Supplies with Munton's dry yeast on 5/21/11. It started bubbling the day after I brewed then stopped.
- left it in the primary for about 10 days temperature ranged from 64-70 degrees
- transferred to secondary on day 10 5/31/11
- after a few days in secondary, bubbles started to appear at the top of the beer; gradually more and more bubbles developed (see image)
- after a few more days the airlock began to bubble
- after 3 weeks the bubbles at the top of the beer have reduced quite a bit, however the airlock is bubbling once every 1-2 minutes and there is some sediment at the top as well
I know I should just RDWHAHB, but I just don't understand why it is still bubbling? It seems like it is still fermenting, but I am not sure. I am just wondering because it has been over a month and I figured it should be done by now.
I am assuming I should wait for all the bubbles to go away before I bottle?
