My oatmeal stout has been fermenting for 10 days now, but is only at 1.020 from 1.050. I was expecting something closer to 1.012. I'm leaving the country for two weeks on Saturday and was hoping to bottle it before then, but now I'm afraid it'll get over carbonated. I guess my options are:
1. Bottle it anyway with less (or no?) priming sugar.
2. Give it a good swirl and leave it in primary while I'm away and hope for the best.
3. (Finally) invest in a carboy and rack to secondary while I'm away.
Any of these make more sense than the others? Something else I should be doing?
