I hope this is the right place to ask advice for kit brewing?
This is my first ever homebrew, so no previous knowledge or experience to call on.
I am using the very basic Wilko 20 pint beer kit.
I started the initial fermentation on Sat 11th Nov. The kit suggest ferment for 4-6 days. If still bubbling then leave for a further 3 days.
Using the fermenter that it came in it does not have a bubbler airlock. So I don't know if or when it has or will stop bubbling.
I have read on this forum that the kit timings are fairly optimistic anyway.
So my questions are, do I bottle now? If not, should I bottle mid week or next Saturday? Will leaving it for a few days after it's finished fermenting harm it, make no difference or improve it?
Thanks in advance.
