Coopers lager help

[mattyboy]

Hi guys iv got a coopers Australian lager brewing and need a bit of help.

Iv been brewing it for 7 days and it's still bubbling once every 1min.
When I put the hydrometer on it it is half way in the shaded area. It says on the meter bottling gravity of beer and wonderd what you guys think. Can I bottle it? Should I leave it?
Thanks guys for all you kind help :)

Hey

You should check the hydrometer reading in few consecutive days and see whether there is any difference in the reading. If there is, i wouldn't bottle it. But thats's me.

What you could also do, is to transfer the beer to another container and let it sit there for few days.

Cheers

Give it another 7, that way you can be confident it's finished and all the cleaning up will also be done :)

As long as the reading is the same on 3 consecutive days it's finished.
Nothing wrong with leaving it a bit longer if you need / want to though.
