High Gravity question

[Radannjo]

Hi from Barcelona,
I am new here and will present myself later on dedicated section.
I have a doubt. Made my beer (all grain) some weeks ago. Oryginal Gravity was 1048, and I passed to the secondary two weeks ago with 1022. It is already two weeks in the secondary and still have high 1018. Wanted to bottle this beer today, but I fear that is too much for now.

Anybody could advise whether wait or put in bottle anyway.

Thank you very much in advance.

check your temps and give it a few more days...you have around a 4% abv brew at the moment, just let the yeasts clean up a bit

Thanks, temps is OK. 22C. Will keep it for few days more.

Hi, after 7 days waiting for lower gravity I have same value - 1018. What shoud I do in this case. Adding new yeast or bottling?

Thanks in advance for an help

Seems as though your fermentation has finished. You could rack into a secondary and let it clear for a week or so or go straight for bottling. You should be fine with 4% ABV.

Just sounds finished to me... 18 isn't an outrageously high FG - many of my beers have finished at that and are fine.

1018 sounds a little high. I'd be tempted to give it a stir to see if I could rouse the yeast and get it down further.

Thanks to all of you. I will put it into bottle, today. Hope bottles won't explode
Will let you know.
