wash at 0.992 and still going.

wash at 0.992 and still going with plenty of surface action. I have 2 hydrometers and they are reading the same. Would it be safe to do a stripping run?

What sort of wash is it and are you planning to de-gas it ?

It was a turbo yeast with the added carbon black stuff (i know) but came with the T500, 5kg of dextrose sugar. Been going a week and still some action...I also have Turbo clear that came with the yeast. degas before adding turbo clear or when it is clear?

If you are happy that the wash has achieved it's FG, rack it, de-gas it, add finings or if you're a patient person, rack it, de-gas it and leave it to clear in a cool place.
