I'm going to check the thermometer, according to the brew calculator my beer is at 2 % alcohol. What can I do now? Thanks

What temperatures is the primary and secondary fermenting for this beer?

Thanks for all the info, I have read it several times and its starting to make sense. This beer has a nice pecan flavor, I'm going to let it age a little while!

Ok sounds good I'll just go with 12psi next time. I was speaking of carbination in bottled beer but now that you ask I see where your going. Well I'm still happy with my first brew, thanks for the help!
