So i'm on a time constraint for bottling my beer. It's been fermenting since this past Sunday (May 20) and it has to be bottled by June 2. Fermentation was vigorous for the first 2-3 days and not has died off. I will take a hydro reading tonight, tomorrow and Sunday to make sure fermentation has ceased then I will rack the beer to a secondary for a few days (just to clear it out a little bit). Next Friday I plan to bottle my brew.
Do you guys think my beer will be overly sweet if I don't let it sit in the primary for 2+ weeks or will it be fine as long as the fermentation has stopped?
The reason i'm saying this is because I see all kinds of threads in this place about people saying they keep their beer in the primary for 3,4, even 6 weeks! Has anyone bottles after 1-2 weeks and how did the beer turn out???
Thanks peeps!!
