Hi all! This is my very first homebrew. I am making the True Brew Pale Ale kit. The beginning gravity was supposed to be 1.043-1.045, but mine was 1.038. I pitched the yeast and then the first time I checked it was after 7 hours and it was already bubbling, so fermentation may have begun before this. It then bubbled for at least 22 hours, and when I got home today it appears to have ceased. The direction say it will continue fermentation for at least 24-48 hours and then to let settle a few more days before bottling. My questions are:
1. Am I to assume fermentation is complete?
2. Is it the result of very active yeast that it is fermented already?
3. Should I just take a specific gravity reading now to see it its done?
Any other observations and comments are welcome and appreciated!
