That is the question.
I have an ESB kit from Seven Bridges (I know, I'm trying to move off the kits... in time....) and just took a hydrometer reading, as we were planning to bottle today. At a dead-on 60 degrees I get a reading of 1.018. With my standard 99 cent airlock in there, I was seeing about bubbling about every 35 seconds... consistently. It's been in secondary (carboy) for 20 days after spending 8 days in the bucket for primary. Been keeping it in my nice dark basement for the last month where it's been about 55 degrees.
Advice, anyone? Do we bottle today? Or will waiting benefit me?
Thanks, as always, for your generous help.
