Keep your beer in the fermentor for 4 weeks.

why don't we see anything on hydrometer?

I would venture a guess, because it's doing this (N being total fermentables in this case, tau is influenced by a combination of yeast attenuative properties and temperature mainly):




Most likely, at that point in time, it is changing beyond the sensitivity of your hydrometer reading error measurement. (decaying exponential). For all intents and purposes probably 98/99% of the fermentables are consumed. The question becomes, is this negligible on the outcome? In terms of gravity I'd say so, but in terms of anything noticeable I'd say this part:

" Also, the yeast clean up some of the byproducts they produced during the fast-paced primary phase."

would have more of an impact on overall beer health. It's all splitting hairs though, and like I said without a way to actually measure these things we won't know, which is why I say it's done by "feel".

One of my old bosses always used to say, "Let's get down to pacifics". It gave me those eye twitches that you can feel but can't see.

Never actually thought about it. Thx for the correction.

Who's laughing. I'm sitting in Evan's! hedge waiting to stab his eyes out with a blunt spoon.
