    my pale ale is fermenting 9 days now. It's SG is down to 1010 now, but the airlock has not been bubbling for the last several days, ( it was vigorous during days 3,4,5. Then slow on 6,7. I added hops on day 8.

    Is it normal for no visible signs of fermentation at this stage ?
    It is very cloudy too. But it tastes like beer ...
    Should I be concerned? Or should I proceed as normal. I'm keeping it at 19 to 22 C.
    Planning to bottle at the weekend.

    leave her alone, pretty normal what's going on.

    i tend to bottle 3 weeks after i brew, then wait 4 weeks before i sample a bottle.

    Chill the beer, and most of the yeast will drop out.
