Hey all, This is my second batch so excuse my noobness and lack of patience. I don't have the exact ingredients to list because the kit only has labels on the bags not a breakdown of measurements. It came with a LME, flavoring hops, a smackpack and a bottle of flavoring. Anyway all went very well with the boil thru to the primary. Then I listened to a neighbor, who has brewing experience, and he said 'go ahead and transfer to secondary after a week'. I thought that was early but I have sampled his brews and they were all good so I did what he said. Since in the secondary(1 day ago) there are no bubbles in the airlock though the were present in primary. OG was 1.068 and I checked it when I transfered and it was 1.010?? Package says it'll finish around 1.018. Did I just transfer to early or did I ruin the batch? I'm not really worried if the alcohol level is less because of the early transfer I just want to be good. I was rushing this to get it kegged cause I'm about to float my first batch. I have a Nut Brown Ale on it's way and will HOPEFULLY be able to show some patience this time. Thanks, HJ
