I just started my first homebrew, an Amber Ale from Brewers Best. I'm fermenting at ~68 degrees, and I started getting bubbles around 18 hours in. I started fermenting 4 days ago, and bubbles have mostly stopped.
I've been getting a lot of conflicting suggestions, but little rationale behind them. The first recipies I've read have said 5-7 days, waiting 48 hours after bubbles stop. Most of the advice I've read online has said 2 weeks is a better target. Which should I aim for, and why would it make a difference?
