Background:
My 8th batch, all ales. I usually primary for one week, secondary for one week, two weeks in the bottle, chill and drink. Very good luck, great tasting beer so far. All of my batches have been 5 gallon partial mashes including between 7 and 9 pounds of liquid mash extract.
This batch:
IPA using 8# LME. Most recent SG 1.013, sorry I did not get a starting SG. Recipe I am using calls for OG 1.066, FG 1.016.
Maybe I have never checked very close, but I have fine bubbles and get a bubble in the airlock once every 40 seconds. It is now going on one week in primary and two weeks in secondary. We are finally getting cooler weather in Houston so I am fermenting cooler than in the past.
Hate to bottle it and risk exploding bottles.
