So, I was checking my beer after being in the fermenter for a week and nitoced something.
I guess i'll start by explaining last week I noticed my airlock wasn't bubbling away. Checked the SG and it was 1.022. My reading on Fridayand thought I read it as 1.016 (great I thought 4 more points and it'll be ready) checked it again today to see if it had stabilized at all. Noticed that the SG was now 1.020. So probably didn't read the Friday reading correctly.
So the recipe I used said the FG should be 1.012-1.014. the beer is almost opaque with haze and it is meant to be finished in one week.
is the fact that it has dropped only .002 SG points since last Monday a problem.
or am I just having first batch jitters
