My first home brewed batch (an american cream ale extract kit) has been in the fermentor for 2 weeks now. The foam has settled down, and the airlock has slowed to only a bubble every couple minutes.
It has been an exciting couple of weeks watching the process of fermentation take place and I am starting to think about what I am going to brew next!
My OG was 1.045 and I just took a gravity reading of 1.02 and tried a sample. It tastes pretty good for flat/warm beer. I plan on bottling later today, but was wondering if this FG was high and if i should wait a couple days..? The calculations show a 3.3% ABV. I guess i just expected it to be higher than that.
