My 1st batch is an extract (hefeweizen). The OG was 1.060, it was expected to be 1.050 according to the recipe directions. It was in the primary for 1 week and dropped to 1.020. I checked it day 6 and 7 and it was still at 1.020. I moved to secondary, not sure why since it's a hefe, but just wanted to get that experience of racking to secondary. It's still at 1.019/1.020. It dropped from 60 to 20. It's been in the secondary for 3 days now. Any suggestions? Is it done dropping? Shoudl I bottle?
 
It sounds like it's done. It finished a couple of points high, but considering you started 10 points high, it should be fine. I would give it a few more days just so you have a couple of weeks total in the carboy then bottle it.
Hefes do well young anyway.
