Best to wait until you get the same reading two days on the trot ive
had some go down to 0.980

Now on day 8, and the airlock is still has a little activity. SG is now just around .992, so it looks like it is getting close.

Does airlock activity stop completely, or is there still a little activity as the was degasses?

My last 2 SS Triple washes have taken 10 days to get down to 990. The airlock activity usually stops around the 7th day. Leave it another day or 2

Hi,

I have my first wash on (SS Triple), which has now been on for 7 days.

The airlock has slowed down to about 1 bubble every 5 seconds, and for the first time, I have lifted the lid and measured SG at 0.994

How can I be sure when fermentation is complete? Am I looking for the same reading over 2 days? How much longer do you think it will need to complete fully?
