bottle time?

[beermonkey007]

Help needed, first time brewer on a wherry. Been going since Saturday, stopped doing much yesterday and took a reading tonight. Looks to be around 1.014, should I get it bottled up or wait and check later? Just has a broken film on the top of bits, no foam.

TIA

I did my last brew on Tuesday 23rd and don't plan on bottling until next week. Whilst you may have reached your FG it'd be best to leave it another week. The initial fermentation may have finished but there's still plenty going on.

As already said, leave another week. I always go to a fixed timetable, 2 weeks fermenting. (I do check the FG but it's always OK.)

Then, I move into the cold (well, cool) for another week to allow the beer to settle/clear a bit (sometimes it clears completely) before bottling.
