my fermenter is bubbling at 1 bubble every minute. Should I wait until there are no bubbles at all before bottling? Thanks

[mieses2pieces]

@bluelagoon10023 It's still fermenting. I would wait for a few more days. I have gone as long as 2 weeks from starting the batch before bottling mine. Normally I bottle it within a week. Sorry it took me so long to answer you. I'm sure you have it bottled by now.

Why not just use a bottling bucket with the typical 3/4 cup sugar to save yourself time and get more consistent quality beer?

[mieses2pieces]

@kinerry I do now but 3/4 cup isn't enough for a six gallon batch. I use 1 1/4 cups of dextrose.

powdered sugar sucks but if you added the appropriate amount of sugar to your wort after fermenting you wouldnt have to deal with it at all.

[mieses2pieces]

@midwesturban27 ok if you say so.

@adamdbull Sounds like a good idea.

@ilovechipotle85 I have seen no difference. I do store them in dark boxes in my cool basement though.

@KevinGuest Good luck!

@nenahbball Everything you need are in the kit including hops. Get you a kit and make some then tell everybody how it's done.
