I brewed a left hand milk stout clone. Its been in the primary about 3.5 weeks..My hydro reading has been at 1.024 for a week. Is this too high ? I was going to bottle it Saturday. I'm still getting some random bubbles out the air lock a few times a day. And should I even bother using a secondary?
I think my OG was approx 1.064 - 1.068 (hydrometer was off a bunch of points due to a hairline crack)
here was the recipe:
