I'll start by saying I don't have a hydrometer yet. I am going to get one but won't get a chance until this brew is bottled.
I have an irish red in a temperature controlled freezer at 68F. I used a capsule of yeast fuel and within 12 hours it was bubbling like crazy. Its now been 5 days and bubbling has really slowed (1 bubble a minute max). From other peoples experience, how quickly can fermentation finish?
I was going to leave it in the primary for 3 weeks and then bottle but I'm wondering whether I really need to leave it that long (my first brew was in the primary for 2 weeks and was fantastic).
Thoughts and opinions (not including "get a hydrometer" as I already have that planned for next trip off the island!)?
