Fermenting question

[chris_newton]

hi all

I started a youngs definate lager kit 12 days ago and wanted to bottle it tonight, it says in the instructions that fermenting will take between 4 and 8 days normally. No i realize that i really should have a hydrometer to check reading etc but i have never really used one before as i tend to look at the bubble activity in the airlock as a guide. Anyways i went to bottle it tonight when i seen that roughly once every 90 seconds or so it did bubble, and when i took the lid of the FV i noticed some little bubbles still on the surface of the lager, not many but some.

is this still fermenting? or would you always get a bubble in the airlock every 90 seconds - 2 minutes??

Should i wait or is it safe enough to put in bottles do you think?

Thanks all

Chris

Haver a look at my thread mate. I had little bubbles still at 14 days, I still bottled it at 14 days, primed & is now sat in my kitchen. I'd give it another 2 days then bottle. :thumb:
