How long will my ale fermentation last?

It depends on the ale yeast strain and temperature conditions, but you can expect fermentation with an ale to be done within two weeks. This is not a hard and fast rule. You may have fermentation that is done in as little as three to five days. Remember: Just because sugar has been consumed and your final gravity looks complete, doesn't mean your yeast have completely re-consumed their byproducts. Fourteen Days in the primary fermenter gives most ale strains time to ferment completely, leaving behind a clean beer waiting to be consumed.
