did you take gravity samples?

Stable gravity readings for 3 days at or near prediction, then it is ready to keg.

I prefer to let the yeast work a little longer. 3-4 weeks in primary.

Hey now...that tv has two knobs. It gets uhf and vhf.

Oh and since you didn't give any gravity readings, give it another week.

Go off gravity readings - keg once those are stable. You can always age it longer in the keg if it's not quite ready yet, gives you more space to brew

Depends on the beer really... Wheat beers and dry hopped beers are typically better fresher. I usually primary these for about two weeks and dry hop the last ten days or so in primary.

Big beers with big abv's tend to benefit from longer primaries. I usually let these go for about 4 weeks in primary then secondary for dry hopping if required.

What's uhf and vhf? =P

Back on topic...as everyone has said, look for stable hydrometer readings over 2 or 3 days. Visuals don't tell you if it's done.

Took a gravity reading, early on but broke the darn thing...got to buy another.

It is a fat tire clone...it tastes awesome....but we do have it in the keg aging as well.

We will be brewing this one again...it finishes fast and taste great. I am still trying to perfect the Gravity readings... Will get there one of these days
