I'm new enough to homebrewing to only be on my second batch. I've done my first two batches from Northern Brewer ingredient kits and I have been fermenting according to the times they list for the kit. For example, 3 weeks fermenting and 3 weeks bottle conditioning for kits listed as 6 weeks.
I want to try something other than a kit for my next batch, so I've been looking up recipes online. One thing I'm not seeing with them are solid fermentation/bottling times. I was told that a batch is ready for bottling when the gravity reading doesn't change for 3 days. However, I would like to know generally how long fermentation will take just by reading the recipe.
... Is this even possible?
