What YooperBrew said!!!

I tend to go 4-6 weeks on most of mine. I think that you will be fine. What style/recipe are you brewing?

The Mox, Read thru this thread. It will give you some valuable insight. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/fermentation-can-take-24-72-hrs-start-43635/

While I have never been disappointed with any kits I have used, I do like Austin Homebrew best. They seem fresher and better tasting. Just my .02. YMMV.

Thanks for posting that Ashz. I got a good laugh out of that.

Not that is really matters, but I oxygenate before I add the yeast. The yeast doesn't have to be mixed as it knows what to do. I do tend to give the yeast a stir after adding, but I don't think that it is necessary.

Welcome to HBT from Newton.

I would give them a week or two more. Remember that 3 weeks is the minimum amout of time. There are many varibales. Knowing your SG and FG would also help as bigger beers take more time to carb/condition in the bottle. Each bottle is undergoing a mini fermention, and will vary from one another.

Yep, I make some of these almost every time the smoker get fired up!. They are like crack for BBQ.

LOL. Yea it does make seem more like a science project with the blow off tube bubbling in a jar of water. I remember my first batch with a blow off tube. It was in winter and I had in my gettolious cardboard fish box temp control chamber in the basement. The SWMBO said that it sound like it was...

I am not at a computer with Beersmith installed, but IIRC isn't there a close button similar to a close button on MS word print preview?

Like most of the previous posters I use a blow off tube everytime for the first few days. Just some piece of mind for me.

To answer that question we need to know how long you have had it in secondary first. I usually don't secondary and go 4-6 weeks in primary.
