still bubbling after 1 month

[Polock Joe]

Muntons IPA kit....added the bowl of sugar to the wort.

Spent 10 days in the primary and 3 weeks in the secondary. Still getting bubbles in the lock every couple seconds or so. I want to bottle today but I don't want to come home to Baghdad.

What do you think? Still tastes sweet. Should all the sweet flavors be gone before bottling?

1.022 and still sweet sounds like it has a way to go, as does a bubble every couple of seconds. I'd expect somewhere between 1.010 and 1.014 as a final gravity.

You might want to make up a starter and pitch it in to finish this one off.
