The target OG for my brew was 1.050 & I hit 1.047. Although the recipe called for letting it sit in the secondary for 4-10 days, based on an earlier post I made of following the recipe vs letting it sit longer to age for more flavor, I'm currently at 11 days in the secondary & now my FG, targeted for 1.011, is 1.004.
1. I know that after everything's said & done, it'll be beer but I'm wondering why such a variance or if that should even be considered "variant" as my real OG started .003 below the target OG?
2. Short of taking the gravity again tomorrow, would I be in a good position now to bottle it vs the potential of the gravity falling even further?
