Hi all,
I started my first home brew just over two weeks ago. It was a Tooheys special draught made following the directions. After one week i took a reading with my hydrometer and the SG was 1020. It was still bubbling through the air lock so i left it to keep fermenting. OVer the last week I have taken a couple of more readings, and it is still sitting on a SG of 1020, even though it is still bubbling. My question is should i bottle it considering the SG isnt changing? Or should i leave it to stop bubbling? I have checked the hydrometer in tap water and it is accurate, and the temp of the fermenter has been 22-24 degrees the whole time.
Thanks!
Tom
