I put down my first brew in a while on Australia Day (Coopers Pale Ale K&K - Dextrose, yeast from the kit) and I have to go away to a conference tomorrow until Thursday.
My original gravity reading was 1.042 and the current one is 1.006
Temp has been at around 26-28 degrees (I have no way of keeping it cooler long term) so I presume fermentation would have happened pretty quickly.
However I have only just done a reading today, so I don't know for sure that it's stable.
There is still the occasional bubble in the airlock although they are few and far between.
My question is: will the beer be ruined leaving it too long after it's ready to bottle in the fermenter? Will it last another 5 days or so without incident? Or should I just go ahead and bottle it?
