2nd batch has been in primary for 4 weeks as of today, so my question is, should I bottle today or wait a bit longer? :rockin:
I know it's gotta be done fermenting after 4 weeks. I will take a gravity reading, just wanted you're thought's. I know alot of people are skipping secondary nowaday's, just was wondering if 4 weeks is long enough in a fermenter before bottling. And it's a Honey Amber Ale.
4 weeks is generally safe, but the only way to be sure is by measuring the specific gravity with a hydrometer. Honey is known to take longer than simple sugars to ferment completely, so don't be surprised if it is not ready. Sample, test, taste, then decide.
