I just bottled a batch of festa brew's double oatmeal stout. Came with safbrew s-33.
I had it in the primary for 14 days and had checked the gravity three days prior and then again on bottling day and had fg of 1.023 both times. The kit said to expect fg of 1.019-1.021. As it had been stable for a couple days, I just went ahead and bottled any way.
Now that it's been bottled, there seems to be more yeast on the bottom of the bottles than with any other beer I have made before. I've never used this yeast though, so not sure if it's normal for this yeast.
So, my questions are:
Is a lot of yeast on the bottom of the bottle a sign of incomplete fermentation?
How incomplete does a fermentation need to have been when you bottle to have bomb potential? For example, I was about .002 above where I hoped to finish. Is .002 of incomplete fermentation at the time of bottling enough to create a danger?
