Hi guys,
I'm new in home brewing. This is my second batch. I have used only kit included ingredients. Started on 6th of November, today is already 17days in fv and an airlock is still bubbling once per 1-2 minutes. Temperature is 22C. Instructions on a box says that first fermentation stage should be finished after 7-8 days... Also instructions says the gravity should be below 1014. My current gravity is 1014 and it's constant for last 3 days. When I take a sample of beer to check the gravity, I still can see that it is quite fizzy. Taste and smell are alright. Any recommendations what should I do and when it would be safe to bottle the ale?
Kind Regards
Tim
