You could also, uncap and recap, but I thought I'd give you an excuse to drink.
MariaAZ said:I totally support the hydrometer suggestion, especially if you're a newbie (like me.) Perhaps more experienced brewers can tell "by looking", but I sure can't, and different brews take different amounts of time to ferment. My first batch was finished in a little over a week (two hydrometer readings of the same numbers taken a couple days apart.) My second batch took a bit longer, but I racked it to secondary. My third batch, a hefeweizen, has been bubbling away for almost two weeks; it's not close to being "done". I would shudder to think about bottling that baby after 10 days!
