First batch, fermentation day 13. Five gallons in a 7.9 gal fermentation bucket. It's killing me to have to wait longer than 2 weeks, and it's still SLOWLY fermenting. The airlock hasn't equalized yet, so I don't really want to bother taking the lid off yet to do gravity readings. I'm assuming you would tell me to let the fermentation take it's course? And stop when it's done? I figure that even though the bubbles in the airlock are 2.5 minutes apart, fermentation is still quite active, because it's filling a lot of dead space (5 gallon batch in a 7.9 gallon bucket) Any opinions?
