Enchanted Brew
We're new to the forum, currently have a batch of brown ale fermenting, and we've got questions. Our references are the guys at our brew store (a 10 hour round trip drive) and John Palmer's book.
Last Saturday was brew day. Our beer began the fermenting process in our plastic "ale pail", tightly covered with air lock. Today, one week later, we racked the beer from the "ale pail" into a glass carboy to let the fermenting process continue. The brew store guys are telling us to ferment for a total of 3 weeks. Palmer's book says a total of 2 weeks. Which is it? Is it possible to ferment too long?
