I brewed a Belgian Wit with WLP400 on October 4, 2014. OG was 1.050. After 2 weeks, still kräusen, so I checked gravity and it was 1.018. I top-cropped and I gave the beer a gentle stirring, and was able to revive fermentation, complete with new kräusen. The gravity started falling to 1.012 and eventually to 1.008.
So, now it is Oct. 25 and the gravity has been at 1.008 for two or three days (the estimated FG of this recipe is 1.009). I would like to bottle, but still have a kräusen (I removed the kräusen this afternoon, but a new one simply appeared - I have begun to call the yeast Hydra). Do you think it's safe to bottle?
