Ok i just made my first batch of beer and am loving every molment of it. Got my kit for christmas along with a kit to make a hefeweizen beer. The recipe call for NO addional sugar just that that was in the included malt mix. It was a Cooper kit and i have just a few questions. It started to ferment within 24 hours more like within 12 hours and bubbles vigously for many days. however within 4-5 days it stopped bubbleing from the air lock. Now in the instructions it said that i must wait for 2 weeks before i bottle. I have taken the sg before and that was 1.050 (standard) and i just took it again and was about 1.018 which i beleive makes it 4.1% to 4.3% alcohol content. I also took a little taste and did taste a light sweetness but not much at all.
Does this mean i can now bottle since it seems that the fermenting is finished?
