Well that's food for thought (while I sit and ponder what 'rdwhahb' means.) This is a 'cream ale'--not an IPA--. I got it as a gift. Anyone else have an opinion as far as 'bottle immediately' or 'let it sit another week?'

I do have the wand. I will use that to transfer to the bucket and then to the bottles. Starting gravity was 1.06. Final was 1.011.

Pretty sure the kit doesn't have a warranty. We'll just chock this one up to a learning experience.... Thanks for all the advice. I'm gonna go ahead and get to bottling, wait a few weeks, and cross my fingers.

Cool. Thanks for the response. So 2-3 weeks is still OK even if I got a lot of oxygen in it?

I'm a novice brewer, and I've got a batch of ale going. So I'm following the instructions on my kit that say, "transfer to secondary." AFTER I did that, I came online to ask, "why did I do that?" That's when I found out that you really, really want to avoid oxygenation during that transfer...
