Hi,
I brewed a batch of stout last Saturday. The fermentation took a little over 24 hours to start. Today, seven days later, it's still slightly bubbling (very slowly). I was planning on bottling tomorrow but I'm not sure if it'll be ready. If I take a hydrometer reading tomorrow and it's at, or near, it's final gravity, should I bottle or wait? If I wait, I probably won't be able to get to it until next Saturday. Would that be too long or can it stay in the carboy for a little while? It's 65 degrees in my house and I used a White Labs California Ale yeast - WLP001.
Thanks!
