Primary fermentation ?

[Steve b]

After primary fermantion , once the airlock stop bubbeling how long should I leave it I'm not doing secondary ?

[Christian]

I generally wait til the Krausen has thinned and a nice yeast cake formed on the bottom, this way you're transferring minimal yeast into secondary.

[Christian]

Opps, didn't read that correctly - you're not transferring to secondary. If you're using a yeast regularly, you'll get a feel for it...otherwise go with stable hydrometer readings.

[Ralph]

Usually you use hydrometer readings. When the SG reading is the same over a period of a few days then fermentation has finished and you can chuck it in your keg or bottle or whatever

[Paul Fraser]

You ideally should check the gravity and wait till it has stayed the same for a couple of days. I usually leave it for 2 weeks to give it plenty of time. I don't think you'd want to leave it much later unless you were transferring to a secondary.

Hi there I checked gravity tonight I'm at 1029 target 1018 maybe another week
