Fermentation

[Stew!Brew!]

Ive had my cider in primary for a couple of weeks now, and it still bubbles 1-2 times a minute. How long do I let it sit in the primary to ferment? When should i bottle it?

It can stay in the fermenter until it's finished and clear. Depending on what ingredients you used (sugar, type of yeast, cider), it might finish as low as .990 or so.

You can bottle it after it's finished and clear.

its going to be a looong time. I wouldn't even look at it for a month or two.

My apfelwein took over 2 months to clear up....It's well worth the wait!

I have a suggestion for your next batch. If you don't use yeast nutrient, consider using some yeast nutrient.

Yeah let it ride. Cider shouldn't be rushed along. Just forget about it, and brew something else hehe. That reminds me, my last batch from October is probably ready to be bottled...gotta check the clarity...
