I brewed a Beet IPA back on September 4th, 12 days ago and it's still fermenting. Not like others I have brewed, this one has and still has a nice layer of Krauten on the top but not a lot of activity in the air lock. The activity has decreased but still there.
I don't have a thermal way of controlling fermentation temps so I have the carboy in a cold water bath at 68 degrees.
It was a 5 gallon batch and the SF reading was 1.070 at the start. I have not yet taken a reading since there is still activity and a crust.
How long have you experienced fermentation and is there any concern other than drying the beer out too much?
Thanks,
