    I have 1 gallon of an alpha king clone sitting on wlp650 for three months. It has gotten down to 1.014 and has an awesome barnyard funk. Think it is safe to bottle? Any recommendations on priming?

    @dand645 I think @Brew_Betty wanted the OG of the batch, not the FG of the batch pre Brett.

    The FG should be considerably lower than 1.014.

    That's an apparent attenuation of 33%, I would definitely give it more time. Brett works really slow as a secondary fermentation yeast, which is why I would advise against using it with anything hoppy.
