First off, this is really more or less just for piece of mind, but...
Friday night I brewed a California Common. Pitched the yeast (dry yeast starter) at about 9:30 pm and sealed the fermenter. Checked it on Sat. morning and the airlock was bubbling at a pretty good pace. Checked it again late Sunday afternoon and there was no activity from the airlock. I took a gravity reading and it was at 1.016 (my OG was 1.054). I know the gravity is within a couple points of my target OG. I've never heard of a beer completely fermenting out in less than three days!! I racked into a secondary today and plan on leaving it for a few more days.
I guess my question is: Has anyone ever heard of this happening before and since I'm a fairly impaitient person would it be okay to bottle this weekend?
