How Long Does It Take For A 5 Gallon Batch Of Beer (home Brew) To Ferment?
Author: Staff // Category: Home Brewing RecipesThis particular batch fermented in just a few days-I still want to wait at least 10 until I bottle-should I hit it with another dose of yeast?

1. It takes, on average, a five gallon batch of beer 3-5 days for the initial or primary fermentation to run to completion. Usually, then the homebrewer will rack the beer into a second vessel (secondary vessel, or secondary fermentor) leaving a majority of the yeast in the first.
2. Leaving the beer on the yeast bed for long periods of time can ruin your beer. This is because the yeast can die in a process called autolysis, literally spilling their guts into your beer. The beer is very health nutrient wise from this autolysis as much of the internal-guts of yeast are B-vitamins. But they are quite bitter and unpleasant tasting. (So rack him!)
#. No do not hit it with another dosage of yeast. In homebrewing the yeast is never completely remove from the beer. (unless you filter it) So from the secondary fermentor after about a 1-2 week rest you will rack your beer again. This time you will add about 1/2 to 1 cup USA of sugar that has been cooked (sterilization). The actual amount of sugar you use for carbonation is something you will learn with experience as it is specific gravity related. You then bottle your beer and wait for the mild fermentation in the bottle to produce CO2.http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapte…http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapte…http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapte…http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapte…
