I do, in my fermenting Hefewiesen. This Saturday will be 3 weeks of fermentation. Is it ok to bottle with this suff still in carboy?

I'd be surprised by a Kraeusen after three weeks though. The longest I had this was for a week and a half and that was with a major RIS that included molasses and honey to push the OG.
Taking too many samples wastes beer. Plus there still action in the airlock
That doesn't mean anything (airlock activity). He (edit: I now realize this is the OP, if you didn't want to take the advice you're given why post? Just do what you want anyway.) hasn't sampled it once, it's a hefe, they tend to finish pretty quickly., he should sample it. You can worry about wasting it if you want, but I drink my samples. Not a drop goes to waste.
BTW, dollar to donuts, and based on what I've seen: It's DONE.
2nd edit: this response frustrates me. I was trying to help. You ask if it's ok to bottle, I say take a sample and check it, and you tell me that samples waste beer. SMH. Good luck.
Sorry dude you read the posts the wrong way. I am going to take a reading.
OG 1.045
SG 1.020
now what? seems to me it's still fermenting.....my chamber temps were in the mid to low 60's.....chart says 70...oops. so raising temps to 70 for the next 2- 3 days
yup extract, used White Labs 320. I'll wait till Monday to do my next reading and go from there. Was it good? sort of.......time will tell once carbonated

No offense intended, but I've never understood this view. I only have to thief out about a cup or so to float a hydrometer and I then know exactly where my beer is. I don't pour that beer out, but drink it. By doing this I can find out what is going on, taste wise, at different stages of a beer's process. Of course, I don't start sampling until after airlock action stops, and do as little as possible to prevent infection, but have never seen the information gathered and the lesson learned as a waste of beer.
