Hello Brew crew. Well, I've just bottled my most recent Brown Ale, see recipe below:
https://www.brewersfriend.com/homebrew/recipe/view/702777/dorset-brown-ale
The OG was bang on the money at 1.062. I did pitch a touch warm (20c) as I do not have temperature control at the moment. High Krausen and bubbling as usual. 10 days in 1.024. 3 weeks after pitching 1.022 (target 1.017). The gravity samples didn't taste sweet, so I thought 'that'll do' and bottled it direct from primary (as don't have a bottling bucket yet).
What do you think? Exploding bottles? House blown to smithereens? Empty bottles and re-pitch?
Or, is it a case of sit back and pop open a brew? I suspect, I should be reaching for an ale...
