The directions from my brew kit has two ways to ferment it. single stage and two stage. Since i've been reading here, i'm gonna go with the two stage.
I know you should wait a week or so to rack into the secondary. But the direction say, this is for the two stage. " Start in your primary fermenter. after 3-4 day check hydro reading. If it has fallen to hlaf the OG reading, rack to secondary". It's been 4 days. Bubbling has stopped. I wanted to check the gravity. My OG was
1.050. When i just checked it it was 1.019. I tasted it. It smelled like beer. It had a bitter taste and seemed strong...
I guess i dont really have a question, other than does this sound ok??
One more thing, the final gravity needs to be between 1.008- 1.012..Will it get there?
