Did I do something wrong here?
First off, I forgot to take an initial specific gravity.
But I took one 24hrs into the primary. It read 1.028
It stopped bubbling 4 days in so today (8 days in primary) I decided to rack it into a secondary.
The beer (amber ale) has a great color and smells awesome.
I took another specific gravity ready and it shows 1.013
Does this seem right? If I plug those 2 numbers into a calculator I get a very low alcohol reading.
I suppose not taking an initial reading is throwing me off maybe?
