Thirteen days ago I started an American pale ale. O.G was 1.056 Pitched rehydrated Nottingham at 70 degrees f. Fermentation was active within 18 hours of pitching. Vigorous bubbling for three days at 62-66 degrees f. then things slowed down. I checked the gravity yesterday (12 days) and itwas still 1.032. expecting more like 1.014. Slowly raised temp to 70 degrees f. and rocked and swirled the fermenter. It's fermenting in a Spidel
plastic fermenter. Still not much activity only a bubble once every two minutes or so. Ale tastes OK except a little too malty. The gravity is still 1.032 today. How much longer can I keep it in the fermenter. I wasn't planning on doing a secondary. Do you think the gravity will go down any more? Would you bottle it if the gravity doesn't go down any more in the next two days? How much would you expect it to go down in 24 hours if it's only making a bubble once ever two minutes or so? I hope you can help me with this. t. c.
