Started an Irish stout about a week ago and got a hydrometer reading of 1.013 today. I forgot to get an initial reading when I pitched the yeast. How much longer should I let it ferment before bottling?
So I took hydrometer readings for 3 says straight with no change. I racked the beer into a keg (sanitized) and put it in my fridge. I wanted to sample it about 5 hours later and it tasted like metal. The pressure was at 20psi so I turned it down and purged the excess co2 out. Should I just leave it alone now or am I screwed? The guy at the brew shop said by my hydro readings I was good to rack it, and to leave it in the keg a week before drinking it. Any insight here?
