Time to bottle IPA?

[DrinkingLounge]

Well it's week two now. Was doing a healthy 1 buble a second last week, Monday I was doing about 1 every 5 seconds, today it's doing 1 every 10 seconds. Think I should bottle this weekend?

you need to take a gravity reading with your hydrometer. you cannot judge whether a beer is ready for bottling by airlock activity.

Personally, I'd give it one more week for the yeast to clean up a bit and settle.

I have an IPA that has been in the primary 4 weeks now, and I plan on keeping it there for at least another week.

it's the kit from morebeer "columbus" ipa. I'll let it sit a few more weeks

I like to get my IPA's packaged pretty quick, just make sure it's done by gravity not airlock activity as others said. No dry hop on this?

What about the dry hops? You gonna do them in the bottle?

didn't come with any dry hops on this one
