Answers:
You will know that your beer is done when the bubbling completely stops!.!.!.!.NO MORE BUBBLES!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I'll usually wait for my batches until they're only bubbling once or twice a minute before calling them "done!." Using a hydrometer is a very good idea, though, especially if you're brewing in a plastic bucket (sometimes CO2 escapes through cracks in the bucket lid rather than through the bubbler; this can make you think your brew is done sooner than it actually is)!. Hydrometers can be bought at most homebrew supply stores!. You'll probably also want a wine thief!. They make it easy to get a sample of beer for testing!. To use a hydrometer, take a sample of liquid using your (sterilized) wine thief, and gently slide the hydrometer into the liquid (I like to give it a little spin when I do this, to help dislodge bubbles that might give an inaccurate reading)!. You then take a gravity reading from the hydrometer!.
If you just want to know when your brew is done, generally it's advised to wait until your hydrometer reading stays steady for 2-3 days in a row (as the sugars in the brew are converted to alcohol, the gravity, or density, of the brew decreases and the gravity reading goes down)!. You can also use a hydrometer to calculate how much alcohol is in your beer!. To do this, you will need to take two readings; one after the beer is brewed but before the yeast is added, and one when fermentation is complete!. Then to calculate the % alcohol by volume, use this equation:
[(original gravity)-(final gravity)]*131=%ABV

You can use visual signs such as CO2 passing through the airlock as a rough guide!. When the gas production decreases to a near stop you can rack to an aging/secondary fermentor!. This allows for a continued settling and clearing of your beer while protecting it from potential off flavors!.
The best way to judge if the fermentation has subsided is to test the beer for fermentation activity!. You can do this with a hydrometer!. Take a reading in three successive days!. If the reading remains the same or is within a very small range (1-2 degrees) the fermentation is complete!. You may prepare the beer for packaging, i!.e!. bottling or kegging!.

what is happening now is the fermentation the average time is 3-7 days in the glass carboy-ed when the yeast go to the top and on the bottom and top you can bottling process then add your priming Sugar and wait!. but i would wait 7 days from when you added it too the carboy-ed too get your full favor good luckWww@FoodAQ@Com
When the bubbling stops, you can rack to secondary!. If you don't have a secondary fermenter (aka: carboy), then wait three additional days and bottle!.

when my server brings me my beer is when its done! I have no clue, but wouldn't you have a reference guide with you!? Did you buy a kit or just going with your "gut!?"Www@FoodAQ@Com
