It may not be fully fermented and it certainly wont be fully carbed. You could risk bottle bombs. I would go with at least the recommended days on the directions. Notice I said AT LEAST. :o
7 to 14 days depending if you rack to a secondary or not.
You don't have to rack to a secondary, but some people prefer it to "clear the beer".
Cheers.. :mug:
Yeah, not a good sound in the middle of the night... especially if you have a SWMBO...(doghouse could be calling).
Maybe you could use a bit less priming sugar when bottling?
I see a lot of Texas people in here, I want to start learning the in's and out's of brewing and was referred to this site. Looks like I need to read up. :mug:
