Heres my scenario:
day 1, Pitch two packs of s-33 in an imperial milk stout (1.094 og)
day 11-13, gravity readings, shaking and warming told me yeast was toast at 1.054.
pitch fresh pack of s-05 on day 13. airlock activity 12 hours later.
day 18 airlock activity has stopped.
my plan is/was to bottle this on day 20. as long as i check that gravity is not changing between day 19 and day 20, can i assume it is safe to bottle, or do i need to give it more time to allow the 2nd round of yeast to "clean up after itself" ?
if i need to wait, how long is too long to sit on the original dead yeast/trub? if i dont bottle on day 20, im going on vaca and wont be able to bottle it until at least day 28.
