Another noob question. I've taken hydrometer readings on three successive
days and they are all giving me a gravity of 1.017. The airlock bubbles once
every 3-4 minutes. It appears to be bottling time.

Trouble is, I haven't the time to do it right during the week so it looks
like my beer will have been in the fermenter for two weeks once I finally
get to it on Friday night.

Is this OK?

Also, any downside to using an empty dishwasher to air dry (but *not* using
the heating element in the dishwasher itself) sanitized bottles?

The newbie questions continue, but you've all been very kind. Thanks.
