So its my first brew, (and first post!) and im wondering when do I transfer my brew out of my carboy (and into another one or into bottles)? Its been 8 days since its gone in, and after taking a gravity reading 2 days ago and today it seems to be keeping steady. I read that I should leave it in for 7-14 days and once the gravity reading stays constant. So therefor I'm thinking it is ready to bottle.
BUT, then I read something else which says I should divide the OG reading (1.028) by 4 (28/4=7) and wait till the hydro reading is that number (1.007), and I'm not sure if that will ever happen since the hydro reading has been at 1.015 for the past 2 days.
So what should I do? If I could bottle now, would there be any reason to leave it in the carboy?
THanks!
