How Long Does Fermentation Bubbling Last?

[emeelio]

Hello,

I know this depends on many factors. The beer I am making, my first batch, is an Everyday IPA: http://brooklynbrewshop.com/beer-making-kits/everyday-ipa-1-gal-kit.

When I poured the wort in the carboy and connected the "blow off tube" as instructed (see http://brooklynbrewshop.com/directions/Brooklyn Brew Shop - Everyday IPA Instructions.pdf) it bubbled, I would say within a few hours. The next day in the morning (I brew at night) I saw activity still but then towards the end of day it was gone.

It has been almost 3 days and there is no more bubbling. I have been worried thinking that bubbling is something that will last a long time but I have been reading that this is just for a few hours and then the fermentation continues.

Thanks in advance guys!

High Krausen usually subsides after 3 or so days. The bubbler is no indication of continued activity. Just let the beer sit for at least 2 weeks and then check final gravity.

Thank you @Psycotte. I had a suspicion about this but needed to ensure.
