Youngs stout trouble

[isolation123]

Hi guys,

I have been brewing the youngs harvest stout for 8 days now and the hydrometer reading at the start was 1040 (pretty normal i think) and after 8 days it is only 1010 and has been like that for 2-3 days. I did five it a gentle stir about 3-4 days in and i tried not to get any oxygen into the brew. On the packet it does say brewing takes 5-10 days but the hydrometer reading hasnt changed in the past 2-3 days should i bottle or not?? please help thank you

That's fine, it's finished fermenting. Get it in the bottles.

thnks but arent you not meant to bottle unless its below 10.006??

Bottle when you get a consistent gravity reading over the course of 2-3 days. An FG below 1.006 is a rare thing for as I'm concerned.

Bulk priming is the ducks nuts and easy as, google yourself a bulk priming calculator. Takes into account volume of beer, final gravity, carbonation required and fermentation temp.
By bulk priming you can bottle into any size or a mixture of bottle sizes.
