So I just bottled a beer on Sunday and I'm a bit worried the bottles might not be safe. I'm considering "unbottling" them but I'd like to get some opinions first.
The recipe is a Rye Stout and the starting gravity was 1.065 and after 3 weeks in the primary the gravity was 1.025. If I'm calculating correctly that is about 62% Apparent Attenuation. The yeast was Windsor.
This is the 4th time Ive brewed this recipe and I guess I was being lazy or just got distracted with the bottling but I didn't actually bother to take the FG reading until my bottling was done because I took the sample and got distracted and then started bottling. So now I have around 20 bottles that were primed to approx 2.5 volumes of Co2 and the FG seems a bit high to me even though I know that Windsor is not highly attenuative.
How dire do you think this situation is?
