How does this look for secondary? It was in primary for a week and tomorrow will be one week in secondary. I plan on bottling tomorrow. My question was does this look like a normal secondary that ready to bottle?

BradleyBrew said:What kind of brew? whats the abv? I would not recommend bottling anything that is younger than 3 weeks old regardless if its been on the primary yeast cake or racked to a secondary vessel. 3 weeks I believe is about the minimum and higher bigger beers would be even longer. Unless you are doing some Hefe that should be drank young and early.
To answer your question... yes it looks normal

It's an autumn amber from mwb I'll wait another week to bottle.
I soaked all my bottles in oxy clean then through them in the dishwasher on sani cycle. My plan was to throw them through again on sani just prior to bottling. Does that sound ok?

Chuckabrewski said:Awesome I didn't get good gravity readings. It's my first batch so I made a few mistakes.
JimTheHick said:You don't need to know the starting gravity. Just take two or three readings over a few days and if it's steady then you can consider bottling.
It looks great. Nothing to worry about there.How does this look for secondary? It was in primary for a week and tomorrow will be one week in secondary. I plan on bottling tomorrow. My question was does this look like a normal secondary that ready to bottle?
