My IPA kit has been bubbling away in the carboy for 2 weeks now. This is almost double the time it has taken for my other kits. Any thoughts as to why?
My personal rule of thumb is (and everyone might not agree with me) I wait 1 week after airlock activity stops and then bottle or keg...it just depends...sometimes airlock activity stops at 1 week, sometimes 3 weeks...but a little extra time on the yeast doesnt hurt a thing
thats funny to run into a post like this.
I too have an IPA thats 2 weeks into primary and still bubbling away.
Im not worried, Ive had a few other beers that had airlock activity at around 3 weeks!

although I'm not using a kit, its all grain and recipes that I've come up with.
are you planning on using a secondary?
no gravity readings?

nice job Golddiggie!
What do you mean by that?
If you take a couple of readings a couple days apart and they are the same, its done fermenting?
