Hello, I'm new here. I apologize if I missed any sort of required introductions.
I've done some looking around google and this forum for an answer to this question without any obvious results; maybe this is so basic it's stupid to ask, but I haven't seen any discussion of this anywhere:
Can you bottle on the tail end of primary fermentation, without using priming sugar, and riding off the remaining fermentables left in the wort for bottle carbonation?
The first concern raised when issues of "bottling early" arises is the problem of potential bottle bombs (though I know there's many other reasons not to). Couldn't this be remedied by simply not adding priming sugar? If your fermentation vessel is offgassing relatively small amounts of CO2, would this be enough to carbonate if thrown into a bottle?
