What's up guys? I've been lurking since around Christmas (when I received my kit!) and I must say, it looks like an great community. Lots of answers and friendly replies.
I brewed my first batch (arrogant bastard recipe kit from Brewer's Best) on 12/27 - I moved it to my secondary on 1/2 and from the time I moved it, I've noticed ZERO bubbling.
My O.G. was approx. 1.062 and readings over the last few days have come in right around 1.015. It seems to be steady in the 1.01x range. Should I be concerned the recipe claimed a higher ABV? I don't care about the alcohol content so much as I'm afraid the taste will be off. So far, it tastes pretty good.
I guess my question is:
Should I continue to let it sit in the secondary or should I bottle it?
and on a side note, i'm using the hydrometer that came in the kit, which is pretty difficult to read. Does it get easier?
Thanks in advance - I'm excited to get my first few batches going and get to a point where I can offer some advice back.
