Okay, I brewed my 8th batch which was my first turkey fryer full boil, but it was extract. Its a weak cream ale 1.040 SG. I brewed 6 days ago. Its bubbling once every 5-6 seconds... its gravity is 1.018 and I know its not done quite yet. So my question is, my fathers birthday is on the 29th. He will try my IPA's and drink them but hes sadly a BMC drinker as are my 3 bros. So i wanted to brew something to get them interested in brewing. I brewed this one with my dad and he was interested and impressed by the whole thing. I know that some people primary a week and then bottle for another week (minimum). I KNOW this is not the best way, id leave it for 3 weeks if I had the time. So my question is, if this stops bubbling and I have a FG of 1.008-1.012 which sticks there after 2 consecutive days... could I bottle and have it done bottle carbing in another week in order to bring them for his birthday? I know it wont taste the best but im pretty sure they would be carbed up just like the weak mr beer american ales that call for a week primary and then a week of bottling. Also, they are BMC drinkers... they will still like it, they liked mr beer.
