Belgian Wit Wyeast Kreusen

[AnCapJake]

Hello! I have done a bit of searching around on this site but haven't learned exactly what I am looking for. My third batch is still in primary and has been for 13 days. It is a Belgian Wit and I used Wyeast 3944. I have read that this yeast tends leave really thick kreusen but I have not determined whether or not it is alright to bottle even when the kreusen remains. My OG was 1.052 and my sample today was at 1.012 which gives me slightly better than 76% attenuation. Wyeast says attenuation for this strain is 72-76%. My question is this, as long as my gravity is right, am I okay to bottle even if the kreusen hasn't fully fallen?

Take another reading in a couple of days if they stay the same rack away! Good lick

Okay good deal. I am going to take another reading tomorrow and will be tempted to go ahead and bottle. I do have another question though, as I would prefer to avoid bottle bombs. When I look into my carboy, I see small what are either yeast particles or CO2 bubbles coming from the bottom of the carboy up to the kreusen. Since I am already hitting my FG I have a hard time believing this is an issue, especially since this beer is supposed to have a quick turn around. I am continuing to get a bubble from my airlock every 10 seconds or so, but from what I've read, airlock activity provides little to no concrete information.

Your FG is only reached when your readings haven't changed over a couple of days. Sometimes the math is not exact considering there are many variables. You will b fine just make sure your readings haven't changed and use the correct amount of priming agent, sugar, honey etc..
