I am contemplating whether or not my first brew is ready to bottle. I am brewing an Irish Red Ale that was an extract kit from a local brewery. I have had it in the fermenter for over 2 weeks now and I checked the SG. My OG was 1.055 (Supposed to be 1.056) and the gravity has been 1.012 for two days. Is it ready to bottle? The kit did not give me an anticipated SG. I have checked around other recipes and they all have similar numbers to me. I just don't want to start my brewing career with bottle bombs. I plan to bottle this Sunday. What do you guys think?
