Hey All,
Thanks in advance for the help. I have Norther Brewers Nut Brown Ale with specialty grains fermenting in my primary (bucket) fermenter (http://www.northernbrewer.com/shop/nut-brown-ale-extract-kit.html). This Friday will be two weeks. I was looking around to see what the Final Gravity should be. I hoping to bottle soon; however, I don't want my precious brew exploding bottles in the basement. Some people have mentioned doing primary for a week and then secondary for another week or two then bottling. I am planning on sticking to just the primary. The airlock was not bubbling much do to me now filling it up enough (I think). After two or three days I peeked inside and it had a nice Krausen head. At this point the Krausen has settled. To summarize, I need helping deciding as to whether or not its time to bottle and let condition. I don't want my first time jitters and impatience to get the best of me. Thanks again for your help.
