I transferred a Porter yesterday that has been in primary for 3 weeks. I got worried due to reading up on using secondaries in longer fermentation brews so I decided to give it a try. This was the first time I ever transferred a brew, and to be honest I wasn't feeling well and afraid I did something wrong.
My beginning OG was 1.053 and I took one yesterday while transferring and only got 1.018. I wasn't to concerned with it not being done. I also tasted it, there was no weird wag (cider taste) just a semi sweet porter.
I just took a look at it (17 hours later) and found it has completely stopped..... Zip ... Zero.... Nada carbonation going on in there. I just wondered if this is common? I was going to give it a week before I get frustrated. Just trying to get my ducks in a row here.
Also, after a weak and still nothing should I go ahead and bottle? I know it wont be as good as it could be, but may save the batch.
Thanks for the input yall.
