Hi, 1st time poster here so hoping for some expert help!
So, i've really messed up. I'm brewing a Wheat Beer, looking for a FG of 1.013. The airlock had been very slow for around 4 days and decided to bottle (it had been fermenting for 15 days by that point).
Now my first mistake was to add the finings without knowing what the FG was. This was on the 13th day or fermentation. My second mistake was to prepare the priming sugar and mix it with the beer before even looking at the FG which is an alarming 1.020!
What are my options? I'm assuming if I bottle i'm going to have some beer bombs, so is it wise to add some new yeast and let it ferment for a week or so bearing in mind i've already added the priming sugar?
Not my best moment.
To note, i'm using Mangrove Jacks M20 Bavarian yeast, fermenting in a 5 gallon plastic, and temp was fluctuating between 16C and 18C. OG was 1.048 as expected.
