So I don't think I aerated my wort enough before I pitched my starter. This is my first AG beer and didn't think about having to aerate more due to the full volume boil. My beer started at 1.052 and I transfered it to the secondary after 7 days and it was at 1.020. Thats 62% attenuation with WL Frisco Lager yeast.
I think I should have let it sit in the primary for a few more days but hindsight is 20/20. Will I have bombs if I bottle it at 1.020 or will it be sweeter than its supposed to be? I had a lot of specialty malts, which I read on here can effect attenuation.
Last qustion, is there anything I can do to lower the gravity, or will 2 weeks in the secondary be enough? Beersmith projected 1.016 as my FG. Should I just say F-it and have a homebrew?
Thanks,
Mike
