Yesterday I racked my first batch to secondary. I was somewhat worried about it because it only bubbled for about a day & a half. I kept reading all the threads about worrying about it so I didn"t open it up. It was a extract kit from Midwest. It is a Liberty Cream Ale in a 6.5 gallon bucket. I left it in the primary for 9 days. After all the info from all of you experienced brewers I would have kept it in the bucket but I wanted to brew another batch. I checked the sg and it was 1.011 which is about what I expected since it started at 1.044. When I took the lid off it smelled wonderful & the sample tasted better than I could have hoped for.
While I was sanitizing every thing to move it to secondary I figured I might as well brew up another batch, & I cooked up another kit from Midwest which was an Oatmeal Stout. I would like to thank everyone here for all the great information that I got in the last week. I am looking forward to learning & tasting a lot in the near future.
