Hey guys! I'm actually making a JPA (Japanese Pale Ale) (I know, I had never heard of it before either) and I'm trying to figure out how long this thing should sit before I bottle it. Any thoughts? I hear 2 weeks is the regular and a friend recommended 3...

Definitive answer: check the gravity. If it remains the same three days in a row, it's done fermenting. Is it then a drinkable beer? A little aging never hurts. Simple working answer: Follow your friend's recommend. I rarely check the gravity. I just give most my beers three weeks in the primary and then bottle. No sense wasting good beer to the hydrometer gods.
BTW, just what is a Japanese Pale Ale?

I third it. Did you use soriachi ace?
Sounds good, and I'll tell ya, I had never heard of a JPA before I saw this set of ingredients in the homebrew store that I recently started going to. The hops used were Centennial, Amarillo, and Cascade, and it's apparently supposed to be a hoppier play on an IPA. I can't wait to try it.

Lol it simply looks like a bit of a gimmick since the recipe designer is a correspondent from Japan. Looks like it's simply a decent IPA recipe, go for it looks yummy no matter what it's called

Sounds like a clone attempt for a Baird beer.
any new info on how this turned out?
