Hey All!
Well, after reading this forum for a month or so, I jumped and got all the stuff to begin brewing my own beer.
So on May 2nd, I brewed my first batch, a Nutbrown Ale. By Sunday night it was fermenting like a madman with fairly large Krausen layer and the Krausen had fallen back in by Tuesday the 5th.
On Wednesday night, I racked to secondary. I think that may have been a mistake. Last night (the 10th) I took a gravity reading and I am at 1.02 (expected 1.012 - 1.016)!! My start was 1.058.
Do you guys think I have a stuck fermentation? There is absolutely no activity in the airlock and hasn't been since I racked to sec. I was getting a bubble about once every 40-45 seconds before I racked.
Definitely trying to relax although I fear I pushed it too fast cause I wanted it to be in bottles and drinkable (not aged) by the time the Indy 500 came around.
What do you think? Am I good? Was planning to bottle on Saturday...
