Hi everyone, I hope someone can help me. I waited for a stable FG of 1.010 and got this reading for 2 days.

I then transferred into bottling bucket with priming sugar. I put lid on and an airlock while I went away for lunch. I came back ready to bottle and noticed the airlock would bubble every 30-40 secs and I can see what I think might be a yeast cake forming on top.

My question is do I bottle or wait till airlock stops and the cake disappears. If I wait do I add priming sugar again?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

The airlock activity could be from a re-started ferment (from the sugar you added) but is more likely just off-gassing (dissolved CO2 in the beer coming out because it has been moved). Either way, it's fine to bottle.
