Bottling Patersbier. still too much yeast?

[mandobud16]

Hey guys,
I plan on bottling my patersbier tonight that has been in the primary for 13 days. I used wyeast 3787 High Grav. Trappist yeast, and an explosive fermentation took off and lasted about 3 days. Most of the krausen has fallen to the bottom of the carboy, but there is still a small layer of bubbly yeast on the top of the beer. Should I wait to bottle until this thin layer has dissipated? Or should it be ok to go ahead and bottle? It is my first time using this yeast so I'm not sure if this kind of thing is common. Thanks guys

It may be ready, but I dont think so. I let mine primary for a month. It turned out awesome and I plan on doing it again. Good luck!

thanks for the reply. I'm probably just going to take a gravity reading tonight, and then again on sunday... If it's stable, then I'll go ahead and bottle. I'll let ya know how it turns out!
