I really want to brew tomorrow but both fermentors are full...
I have a 3 week old Falconers Flight IPA (OG was 1.056 FG is now 1.010) in one. The other contains a 5 week belgian golden strong (1.067 to 1.004).
They both have hit (and passed) the estimated FG, with no gravity change for over a week, but still have some slow airlock activity, 1 bubble/minute.

Which do I bottle?
Should I wait till the airlock stops moving completely?
Or bottle both and have and epic double brewday!
 
Bubbling airlocks mean nothing. If the gravity readings have been constant for a couple of days (which both of them should be), then it is safe to bottle.
 
Double botteling and double brewing?Sunup to sundown.Good luck.
 
1.004 wow that is almost distilled water lol

Both have been in long enough and if readings have been steady for a week, you can bottle either. I would personally bottle the golden and let the IPA sit another week.
 
i agree. bottle and let condition for a while. keep on brewing. we have been doing double brewdays for a while. definately more fun with more confusion. it gets complicated but it will be fun.

Prost
 
Love how quick these responses come in!
Sounds like I'm going big! Making a Belgian Wit with Lavender for SWMBO pitched over the golden cake (WLP400) and an American Brown ale that I want to have a significant special-B contribution pitched on the IPA Cake (US-05).
Anyone have tips on Lavender beers or Special-B? I'm getting excited!
