Hi there,
I’m in the process of my first ‘run’ and I have a question about when to stop fermentation...
I’m doing an all-grain brew and the recipe had a target OG of 1.059 with 21 L and a final gravity of 1.015.
I fell short of the target OG with 1.044 and 19 L and the wort is currently fermenting at breakneck speed at 20 C.
After a slow initial start, the yeast has gone a bit mad and is hurtling towards that target gravity of 1.015, currently sitting at 1.019.
My question was: Do I just let everything continue until the FG levels off ? -will it naturally stop when it reaches somewhere around the 1.015 mark ? Or should I step in and move to bottle the batch when it gets to 1.015 ?
Thanks for your help, it’s much appreciated !
