First beer is has been in the primary for about six days. Had a few days of pretty active fermentation and now has slow way down to maybe a couple bubbles a minute maybe less.

Kept beer between 65-68 the whole time( I don't have a ferment fridge yet)
And I was planning on just doing a long primary and then bottling

I guess my question is just what should I do now?
Should I take a gravity reading to see if it's done? If I'm doing a month long primary how much do I need to worry about temperature for the yeast to clean up after itself?

Ps. Pitched rehydrated us 05

Uh, make lunch for your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/husband? Go out to play pond hockey? Build a piano? Mostly you just leave the beer alone. I don't usually open the fermenter until a few days before I intend to bottle and then I get a gravity reading and then a second gravity reading a couple days later to make sure it is done before bottling.

All done. Now to bottle and wait
