Just How Potent is a Packet of Nottingham? (Experiment)

[BierMuncher]

I was wondering if maybe you could bottle without priming at near FG? Especially if you knew where you wanted to end up...

I think the only what you could do that with confidence is with a recipe you have done over, and with consistent (and subsequently predictable) results.

Final gravity is defined by just that…the final gravity. Predicting the FG is hit or miss. I’m not sure misjudging would be worth trying to shave a few days of the priming procedure off the process.

If you are bottling before the FG is reached then you've obviously not left time for the beer to drop bright.
