Hi all,
I'm in the process of making my first batch o' stout. Like all new things, I'm apprehensive that I've done it wrong. Can SG be too low?
It stopped bubbling in the primary, so I measured the SG and got 1.011 (assuming I'm reading it correctly). The instructions said to go ahead an rack to secondary as long as it was under 1.020, so I did.
Still, the instructions say to wait for a week or two now before bottling, at which point it should be 1.013 or less. Is it bad that my SG going into the secondary is so low? Since it's already lower than the instructions say for bottling, did I screw up somewhere?
