I am sure you guys are sick of this question already...but let me ask how long I should let my IPA ferment?
I am asking because there seem to be no specific answer to this.
Here is the info on my batch that we brewed 2 days ago....5 gallon IPA with an initial reading of 1.044.
The bubbling is really frequent. Each 4 seconds a long bubbling happens. The temperature is at 18-19 ºC.
The instructions say that I should wait a minimum of 5-7 days and the reading should be at 1.010 and no further gravity drops should happen (I guess this means the yeast is not active anymore...and that the batch is ready for bottling). Correct?
