Kit brew with Safale 04.
Airlock bubbled for about 36hrs in primary, and I put it into secondary (with hops) after 1 week.
Two days later, without much variation in temp, it started bubbling again, about every 3-4 seconds.
Next day it had eased off, but still bubbling once a minute.
That was a week and a half ago.
It's still going. Perhaps every 2-3 mins.
I've had to give it the fan & wet towel treatment, when the temp got up to 25 on the weekend.
The SG readings were OG - 1.040
Readings since being in secondary -
Saturday - 1.015
Monday - 1.015
Wednesday - 1.014
Thursday - 1.014
Saturday - 1.013
Monday - 1.013
Tuesday - 1.013 (today)
Thought it had finished this morning when I saw the water levels in the airlock, and washed the bottles.
Went in to get the spare fermenter to wash it, and heard it bubble again.
Kinda feeling like enough's enough, and would like to bottle it anyway.
Hard to pull the pin when you've just washed 60 stubbies.
Any suggestions?
