Safe to bottle?
« on: August 14, 2015, 09:46:50 am »
I have an ale that's been in the fermenter for two weeks and the final gravity is 1.008.  Can I assume fermentation is complete enough to add priming sugar and bottle or do I need to check FG again in two days?

Today's schedule has more room than Monday's would so I'd prefer to bottle it today.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

I wouldn't fault you for bottling now.  It's the Lazy Ant way isn't it?

Two weeks is generally enough.  If you have good fermentation practices and some confirmatory experience with the specific yeast you are using then go ahead.

Thanks for your response, but I gotta ask:  how many lazy ants have you ever seen?  "Just Sayin"
