My BIAB has been fernenting for 1 week now and there is no activity in the airlock anymore ive done a gravity reading and it has dropped from 1.040 to 1.010 temperature is still good, has the fermentation stopped and should I start bottling ? I was planning on leaving it for 2 weeks and I don't want to jump the gun .
Thanks
Fermentation ?

Re: Fermentation ?
Make sure you get the same reading over 2-3 days. Especially if you are bottling, you don't want bottle bombs!
I aim for 2 weeks min in the FV. Tends to clear a lot and you get less sediment in the bottles.

Think I will wait the 2 weeks just to make sure, thanks for the reply
Re: Fermentation ?
Are you able to drop the temperature? Once you think fermentation has finished, lowering the temperature will help the beer drop clear.
