How long do your brews bubble for?

budrockdiesel · Oct 16, 2008

I did my 3rd brew last saturday. It was a pale ale kit that I added a lb of ex lite and an oz on hops to.(SG 1.05) It started off very strong and after a day slowed down to 3 or 4 bubbles a min. Today is day 5 and as of this morning it was still going. I dont think that anything is wrong I am just curious.

Between none and weeks.
Airlocks are for sniffing not judging fermentation. As long as it's bubbling...You can be sniffing....Enjoy it.

Let the brew ferment 2 weeks and then do a gravity check and if it is around 1.010 or the recommended FG then keg or bottle.

It really depends on the brew/yeast but bubbles as others have said isn't an indication of complete fermentation. Let it sit for at least two weeks and then take a gravity.
