Okay,
Today marks 21 days from my first batch of beer. After 7, I transferred it to a secondary, and its been sitting there ever since. OG should have been 1.048, I was at 1.050. Three weeks later, FG should be 1.012, but I'm sitting at 1.020. Problem is, I forgot to take a reading when I racked from primary to secondary, so I don't really know what's been happening over the two weeks. I'm a touch worried I racked over too fast.
I was hoping to keg this up tonight, but should I let it sit and see if it drops any over the weekend? Can I expect it to continue going down, or do I just go ahead and carbonate? I'm too new at this to know how "off" being .008 points is.
Thanks!
edit: Forgot to mention... The beer is quite clear. It's supposed to just be the standard american pale ale that came with the starter kit, so I'm not really sure what to be expecting. It tastes like flat beer, so I know I'm on the right track
