I brewed a wee heavy that was 1.098 and has been in the primary for 3 weeks. What do you guys think for best results? One more week in primary then bottle and age. Bottle now and age. Rack to secondary and bulk age off the cake.
I would appreciate your input. It smells amazing and fermented at 62 degrees. Gravity is down to a few points of what I was looking for.
Wait until the gravity is steady, then bottle and age it.
Okay weird, So I had not had any air lock activity or visible krausen for many days. I took another gravity sample last night to see if I was still at the same place and I was but now this morning it is bubbling in the air lock. Is it possible I roused the yeast enough? My sanitation was fantastic for my sample taking.
If your room temperature increased, it will start bubbling just because of expansion. I’d still wait a couple of days and take a third reading to see if you’re still the same.
also just disturbing the beer at this point will cause some co2 to come out of solution. don’t trust the airlock. so many things can make it not bubble while everything is going fine or bubble when it’s actully done fermenting.
