Hi all, This is my first post, and i'm working on my very first batch.
I've done all the reading I can including the "When to go from Primary to Secondary" post, but need some clarification (no pun intended). I'm brewing a box of Barons Premium Brown Ale. The instructions say to put in the primary for 3-6 days and once the gravity gets to 1.020 or less transfer to the carboy. I took a reading at the beginning and it was 1.050. For three days at 68 degrees it bubbled like crazy, and on day three its now quiet. I took a reading and its down to 1.014, so I transfered to the secondary.
The final gravity in the instructions says it should be at 1.013-1.019, it seems that its there already. Is this normal?
There doesn't seem to be any bubbles coming through the airlock. The instructions say to leave for 14 days, is this simply for clearing/conditioning?
Has the fermenting finished?
Thanks
