my newest batch bubbled violently for 36 hours about and now stopped, is it just past that stage or is something wrong?
fermenting stopped after 36 hours?

OG, yeast, and temp would be helpful. But in general the only way to tell is to check gravity. Wait 3 to 4 days and check again. No change = done. If you don't want to waste beer or have a refractometer, just let it sit for 2 to 3 weeks unless it it a high gravity monster.

It's fine! The active stage of fermentation usually lasts about that long. It's still fermenting, and will continue to do so for a few more days, it's just much slower now.
Yeah,when the rapid bubbling slows or stops,only initial fermentation is done. It'll now slowly,unevenfully creep down to FG from here. Then 3-7 days for it to clean up any by products of fermentation & settle out clear or slightly misty. Then prime & bottle.
