Hi everyone. I've been posting like a madman though my first batch here and I think it's starting to wrap up fermentation.
So my question is this: Is it time to bottle? The beer is at 70 degrees, and I'm getting one bubble a minute in the airlock. Is it time? Does it need a few more days?
Also, how long can it sit in the primary fermenter in it's present state. I'm going out of town this weekend and if I don't bottle until tomorrow, I won't get a chance until next week.
A bit of information: Brewday was two weeks ago this evening. Ferment started in earnest 13 days ago. It's been bubbling every 5-15 secconds for the past two weeks until yesterday when it had dropped to once every 20 seconds and this evening, once every minute.
Thanks, Sages of the Foam!
