Homebrewers - Whats in the fermenter?

[kenstogie]

Well brewed ANOTHER batch. The MOREBEER's Scottish Export 80/- Schilling. A 22.50 extract kit! It said
Estimated Original Gravity would be 1.045-49 but.... it was way higher like 1.060-1.063 or sooo. not sure why but i ain't complaining either. bubbling like a mad man.

Any suggestions how long I should let it clarify??

Bad reading. It's easy to do with a partial boil, the top up water didn't get mixed all the way. With an extract kit, there's no way to miss your target gravity that high unless you have way less volume than called for.

Personally, I would let it sit for 3 weeks, then take a gravity reading. As long as it's where it should be, it's time to bottle it.
