Gday
I have had a russian imperial stout in secondary for the last 8 weeks, and am planning on bottling tomorrow night (or maybe tues night, workload depending). I have heard that some people let their big beers self carbonate, cause they will continue to ferment a bit more in the bottle. I am a little wary of doing that, but on the other hand, dont wanna overprime and end up with bottle bombs or something. I am almost positive it wont go down any more points (started at 1.087 and is now at 1.018, and quite tasty). I will be priming with dextrose, so any advice will be much appreciated.
Also, I have been very lazy getting the american brewery photos up, I will do it this week, honest!
All the best
