Hi, first time brew Coopers Blonde.
I am close to the end of primary fermentation, having begun 8 days ago on 9/9/06. OG was 1040. Current SG 1010. When I poured the beer into the hydrometer container just now, the beer was carbonated and had quite a good head. I thought this only occurred after the bottling? Am I mistaken?
Anyway the beer tasted quite nice but I am waiting for another stable SG reading before bottling.
As I may be busy in the coming week, is it alright for me to leave it in the primary fermenter for 1 more week even though primary fermentation has stopped?
Thanks for your advice in advance.
Regards
