My other thread here <https://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=41629> seems to have died. I had an extremely quick bubbling phase in my airlock and no apparent activity since.
I checked the gravity 4 days after it stopped bubbling, which is 5 days since I sealed it into the primary fermenter. The OG was 1.035 and I got a reading of 1.0159. I told my reading to a fellow brewer who has much more experience than I do, and he thought that seemed pretty slow and that I should try racking to a secondary. So I did that last night and tonight I did another gravity check and got 1.015. There's no krausen or really anything going on - it's actually pretty clear.
It's been 6 days since I sealed it and I'm worried that I've killed my beer. Should I add more yeast or is this normal? Will adding more yeast affect the flavor? Did I rack too soon?
Sorry for the multiple questions, but this is my first batch and I want to learn as much from it as I can.
