Fermentation Time Line

[Pitbull-brewer]

I am currently doing a small batch and was wondering if the size of the batch affects how long the beer should be in the primary fermentation. I did my first starter yeast and it seemed to kick the fermentation off right way. The beer is is a GF witbier made from sorghum, orange and lemon peel, and coriander. Just looking for info I am a young brewer so i try to go by the experiences of others.

Regardless of batch size the fermentation time will depend on the OG of the beer, strain of yeast, fermentation temperature and the grain bill. There is no set time for any beer due to all of these variables. you will know the beer is done fermenting when you get a stable FG which may occur around the 7-10th day.
