Is it time to bottle?

[Mike's Brew and Brat]

I brewed a blonde on 3/11 OG was 1.050 racked to secondary 3/28 FG 1.002
No activity in arilock. Can I bottle this weekend, or should I wait?

If you are down to 1.002 then I'd say yes it is.

Recheck it and make sure you don't mean 1.020 first.

i checked it twice. It was 1.002 It was just below the 1.00 line.I added 1/2 begian candy sugar to up ot a little.

Great so I can bottle tommorw and brew my Pale Ale on Sunday!

 

[homebrewer_99]

You could bottle it now...but why would you want too? You went to the trouble to use a secondary, so why not give it at least a week, and two would be better. IMHO, if you're only gonna leave it three days in the secondary, than why even bother?

Sure can!

But he wants to bottle, not can

 

[Mike's Brew and Brat]

well I want to get it in bottles so I can get a new brew going. I am a nube so I only have one setup.

Bottle bombs away!!!

If I read this right, he added 1/2 cup sugar to the secondary two days ago, and wants to bottle now, with more priming sugar?

I'd wait. For sedimentation/clarity, as well as to make sure the 1/2 cup has been eaten up. You do NOT want to double prime it.

But I may be too late, he may have pulled the pin already.

 

[homebrewer_99]

Yeah, I see your point.

That's what he gets for asking us questions without giving us all the info.

 

[Sasquatch]

Yeah that sounds dubious. If you stick more sugar in a batch that's sitting at 1.002 it ain't sitting at 1.002 anymore. Ergo...

 

[homebrewer_99]

Yeah, I missed his input there entirely. My bad!
