No, I am not going to ask if I should bottle because the airlock has stopped bubbling.
I am asking if I should bottle even though the airlock is STILL bubbling. I brewed a Kolsch 3 weeks ago, and pitched a starter of some Munton's ale yeast that I had prepared the evening before. It was an extract/steeping recipe, and the 1.042 OG was at the low end of what the recipe called for, but still within. The airlock is still bubbling, but the gravity is within the final gravity range, though at the upper end, at 1.012.
I really want to free up the fermentor so I can brew another batch tomorrow.
So what does the collective think? Bottle and stop obsessing, or quit trying to rush the beer?
