Hi all,
I have been homebrewing for a few years now. I have always just kept to the basic kits. I am doing a Morgans Blue Mountain kit at the moment. It has been kept at a constant 22 degrees for the fermentation. The thing is after 2 weeks the airlock is still bubbling ... not crazy but gradually enough to show it is still fermenting. And it did not start to ferment until after a week. And a hydrometer reading tells me it has not finished fermenting.
I think it best to keep it there until fermented fully but just wondering if anyone else has run into a similar thing? Also how long can you keep it in the fermenter before bottling until the beer starts to go bad?
The due date on the kit was due to expire in a month but I do not think that would make a difference.
Thanks,
Carl.
