Hops have sank...

The hops have dropped mainly to the bottom of my secondary fermenter. The yeast has slowed a bit, but I will bottle next weekend if fermentation is complete. You might ask how I know when its done. That is an important question, because if you bottle your beer too soon, the pressure can become too great and the bottles can explode. You remember me telling you about the hydrometer and how it takes readings? Well, if you take the readings 2-3 days in a row and they don't change, then you can be pretty sure that fermentation is complete. When fermentation is done, then we bottle. Let me know if you want to try some...
