First post here and I have a couple questions for anyone willing to help a newb. This is my first brew on my own so i've been learning as I go here. The kit says you can brew it as an ale but I am a purest and opted to go for a true lager. Being that I live in SD, the garage is right around 52-54 so i've been lucky.
I just moved from primary into secondary (to start lagering) with my brewer's best Oktoberfest kit and my SG (1.015) at transfer was right in the range of the predicted FG (1.013-1.016). OG was 1.050.
The question I have is if I will be ok being that I didn't check the SG for several days in a row and just went by proximity to the estimated FG. I was still having airlock activity during the d-rest so that is why I am concerned. I really don't want exploding bottles.
Thanks for anyone's help/advice.
