Fermentation Slowing

My fermentation is slowing down.

I put put it in my carboy on Saturday around 3pm, and it started to ferment on late Saturday/early Monday. It's thursday now and it's starting to slow down quite a bit. Airlock is bubbling once every 30 seconds or so.

Is this normal?

Yes. I'd leave it at that but I need to post more characters.

It only takes a few days for the average ale to complete 75-90% of its fermentation. After that it's mostly clearing and aging.

I would say it is normal. I've had some go for 3 days and finish. But my latest batch went for 6 days before the bubbles were over a minute apart. I would give it a couple more days.

Definately want to wait for it to get over a minute in between bubbles. Then take a gravity reading and that will let you know for sure. Rock on!:rockin:
