Hey all-
So for my fourth batch I brewed an Imperial Stout (extract plus specialty grains) this beer had an Original Gravity of 1.092 and spent two weeks in the primary. I wanted to bottle today and when I began the process I checked the gravity and it read high (1.038). I used Wyeast (1084) Irish Ale. This is supposed to have an AA of 71-75%.
I had already begun the transfer process to my bottling bucket and so went ahead and bottled it. I am now a bit concerned about bottle bombs... Should I dump the batch? I've read that some beers can finish high and be o.k. but I sre would hate to have explosions... Any help would be great!
Oh... and Happy holidays.
