Woodfordes Wherry still bubbling???

[Libigage]

Hi, my Woodfordes Wherry has been in my fv for 14 days so is due to be bottled today. Problem is that it is still bubbling through the airlock every 2 minutes and it is reading 1010. Should I leave it for a few more days?

Give it a couple of days and check the gravity again. If it's still at 1010 then go ahead and bottle. The bubbling is probably just CO2 dropping out of solution rather than fermentation but best to check if you are planning to package in bottles.

Its done. You can bottle when you want. But it wont harm to leave it a day or two longer if that makes you feel more comfortable.

It’s almost certainly done, but if like me you only have time to bottle on weekends it’s unlikely to do any harm to leave it another week if you want to be sure and check that the gravity is stable over a few days.

Tastes really nice, I'm going to struggle to wait for this one

1010 is done, but it can wait for another week. But you're correct in hesitating: bottling brew before end of fermentation is a nono.
