Hey guys I just recently brewed my first batch of beer on Tuesday night and I had a couple questions. I used an ingredients kit to brew some Amber Beer and after getting it into the fermenter and putting the airlock in place everything has been going well.
I used dry yeast and noticed bubbling in the airlock within 4-8 hours and it continued bubbling strong until today where it has now ceased entirely. The directions to my kit say once it stops bubbling I should begin the bottling process however from what I have been reading it should take longer than 2-3 days to ferment. I don't want to open the bucket more than necessary so should I go ahead and take a reading with the hydrometer or wait at least a week from the time fermenting started? Thanks in advance!
