So my first brew, nut brown ale, has been in the primary for almost two weeks. I have taken the gravity reading three days in a row. I have 1.012 for the reading. I sampled it, and it actually tastes like beer! I was thinking of transferring to the secondary for another two weeks. Is this beneficial for this style of beer? How much "clearing" can I expect with the secondary? The SWMBO would be much happier with a "clearer" beer. My hydrometer didn't have any kind of chart to figure out the ABV. If I started with 1.054 and finished at 1.012 what am I looking at in terms of ABV? Thanks for all the help and tips with this first batch.
