hello everyone
I have a batch thats been in primary for 2 weeks with an OG of 1.077. I did a hydrometer reading and its 1.014 now..Am i ready to bottle? any thoughts?
 
Bottle when you get a steady hydro reading for 3 days.

So check it again tomorrow, and again on Wednesday. If they are all the same you know you're yeast are done and you are ok to bottle.
 
Should i use the same sample i took today? Or take a new one tomorrow and wednesday?
thank you
 
And you have to drink the sample, not return it to the fermenter. This will give you an idea of what your beer will taste like and won't give your beer an infection.
 
if it changes at all though give it another week until you test again.. that way you wouldn't be wasting too must beer.. i prefer to primary a full month, then just as long as my FG is pretty close to what beersmith says it should be i feel i'm good to go.. never had a bottle bomb
