howdy.
I'm kind of new at home brewing, have a small handful of batches under my belt. but this is a 1st for me.
i just switched to a fermenting bucket rather then carboy (i wanted to give it a shot and see how it works) and my fermentation started super fast (maybe 2 hours) and the airlock was bubbling like crazy. about 24 hours later, there is almost no activity. i watched it for about for about 2 min and saw 1 bubble. this was 2 days ago now. i was thinking of checking the gravity on Monday ( i brewed on Thursday) and was wondering if it seems to be around 1.012-1.015 (the target for this batch) would you bottle early? or wait a fully week anyways?
thanks in advance for any input.
