Brewed the Boundary Waters Wheat from MW, added 2 lbs of honey gradually starting with 15 mins left in the boil to 10 mins left. Its been sitting in the primary (not doing secondary) for exactly a month and the airlock still bubbles ever so slowly, maybe every minute or two. Is this still fermenting or should I go ahead and bottle?

OG was 1.032, supposed to be 1.04 but I don't think I mixed up the top off water very good

Did take a FG reading but looks like I forgot to write it down :eek: Supposed to be 1.009-1.013, but will adding honey raise that? Thanks
 
Take gravity readings every day for the next three days. If it's the same and doesn't change and it's close to what your FG should be, I'd say it's ready.

Someone with more experience should be able to tell you what affect honey will have on the FG.
 
If your FG is already around 1.010 then mpenn35 is right. The yeast is going to eat until it isn't, and that will reflect in your FG.
