This is my first brew ever, its 6.6 lbs of amber LME. I must have gotten too excited and forgot to check the OG, I've thought about it a couple times since, but I don't want to risk infection, plus from what I had gathered at the time all it tells you is the abv% of your beer, which I don't particularly care about.
It has since occurred to me that a stable FG will tell me that fermentation is complete, but since I dont have an OG to compare it to, am I able to extract any meaningful information from my FG reading? What kind of reading would be reasonable to expect with 6.6 lbs of LME? And should I use these reading to tell me when to rack, or just stick it out for 2-4 weeks in primary to condition?
