I brewed a partial mash Oktoberfest from AHS with the 1% alcohol boost and was ready to bottle today (after ~10 days primary, 2 days protein rest, and four weeks lagering) and as the beer is on the counter coming to room temperature I noticed I'm getting activity in the airlock and bubbles are forming on the top of the brew.
This is my third lager and first time using the alcohol boost, but I've not observed this activity before and am concerned if I do bottle now I'll get bottle bombs. It was definitely not bubbling while lagering. Bubble rate now is about 2-3 bubbles a minute. I haven't taken a hydrometer reading yet, as I've never used it except for once a few batches back and the reading seemed so far off I questioned the validity, especially as the beer tasted perfect.
Lil help?
