When should I bottle this thing? It has 5 weeks to the day in primary......2 weeks ago the gravity was 1.006.
Check gravity again and it its the same bottle. Seems like its ready if gravity doesnt change its done. Brett sometimes has a delay before becoming active again
i would take readings a month apart, and don't bottle until they are stable. my concern with 2 week readings is that the gravity might be dropping slowly, and on the average hydrometer it's easy to mis-read 1.005 as 1.006 and assume that the bugs are done. there is potentially quite a bit of sugar left in there.
Found this last night! Brewed back in October 2014, it's my second Morebeer Consecration kit. Fermented on Trappist HG, then ECY BugFarm, and Bug Country. I already added the used oak cubes from a Winexpert Stag's Leap Merlot batch, and a couple of cups of the actual wine kit that was left over in the fermenter after a racking. It smells awesome at this point, can't wait for it to be ready in a few months.
Ready to bottle in a few months? Maybe if you brewed it October of 2013. It needs more time, dont rush it.
"Brett brawl" at 3 months: 3726 + ecy34.
Nice. Willing to send some dregs when you rack/bottle?
It was a shame to have to bottle it...

That looks alot like what formed in my Gose when I pitched the Lacto. No fruit in mine, though. After active fermentation, it broke up into big chunks with some still floating on top.
A Gose that I brewed in August. Didn't like how salty it was so I decided to let the fermentation ride out for a while and mellow out a bit (fingers crossed).

Doubt the salt will fade, may need to blend some other non-salted brew with it.
