So three days ago I started the Sparrow Hawk Porter recipe out of the Joy of Brewing. I used Muntons Gold Yeast with an OG of 1.0867 and sat it at 63-65F. Now (3 days later) bubbling has subsided so I took another reading and was really surprised by the amount of foam, great color and taste. My reading is now at 1.0230 bringing the alcohol content to 8.27% !!!! I'm at a loss of what to do because this just can't be so easy.
Normally I let it sit a few days more in primary and rack over to secondary for an additional week. Right now I'm pretty damn happy with what I got and don't want to lose it through the traditional steps.
Long story short, I need a sanity check. To bottle or to sit on it a little longer? All opinions welcomed.
