BEER WINE
How long do I have to wait before the bottling or kegging phase?
Many factors will influence fermentation time. The style of beer, malt content, strain and freshness of yeast, and temperature all play a part in the process. As a rule, the more malt, older yeast and lower temperature, the longer fermentation will take.
Generally, primary fermentation may take two days to a week. It is a good idea to give the beer a full week (even if fermentation stopped after three days) before bottling/kegging, to allow for the yeast to settle. A secondary fermenter can be used for a few weeks to allow more sedimentation to occur also, to get less sediment in bottles or kegs.
