Good morning oh fonts of knowledge.
I have a strong dark mild OG of 1.059 on the go which I pitched on the yeast cake of the GW Summer Lightning clone (which was delicious going into bottles). I used S04 for the Summer Lightning and it went all the way down to 1.012 nicely.
Now the mild has stumbled slightly and after two and a half weeks is sat at 1.015. It was that three days ago and I'll be checking again later. If it's still at 1.015 I'm of the mind of just getting it into bottles.
Given I don't want a cupboard of nicely primed bottle bombs, what's your thoughts, given style, on no priming and using the residual sugars for the yeast to munch on over the coming weeks?
Seem like a basic question to ask and my gut instinct is to just crack on, but all my previous brews have hit FG target and priming has been straight forward.
Cheers in advance :thumb:
VR out.
