It' been 18 days and my batch still has a few bubbles on the top of the carboy and occasionally some come out of the airlock. it has been steady at 68degrees through the whole fermentation. it looked real good for the first 4 days then seemed to slow down.
I just took a reading and It its 1.012.
Is this ok or do I need to give this more time? Im still trying to understand the whole gravity thing. I think I want 1.015 right? - my bad on brew day I did a 10 gallon batch of the american Pale ale I brewed previously and the brew day was kinda hectic with pumps not working stuck mash etc. Im willing to give it longer if need be..just worried now that I took off the stopper to get the sample out of the carboy.
thanks
