I have done 3 batches of home brew.
The first batch fermented the entire week in the primary, even a little fermenting in the secondary.
However, my 2nd and 3rd batches were pratically done with fermentation in 2-3 days. Both of these had lower ABV percentages when racking, than did my first batch.
These batches two had an SG reading of 1.018 and 1.016 respectivally, as compared to my first batch which was 1.014. The first batch even dropped to 1.010 before bottling. The OG on both batches were also lower than the first batch. Obviously there must be more fermentables available in there...
My question is can I or should I add pitch more yeast if my airlock stops bubbling after 2-3 days in the primary?
