Brewed an American cream ale on 4-3. My first reading was 50. Now im getting 20. So its 1.050 - 1.020 x 131.25 right . That is less then 4% ? This is supoosed to be 5.25 and 5.75. Should i let it sit longer before kegging ?
It depends on what you want from the beer. If you like it, then keg it. If you want more alcohol; then check to see if it's still fermenting or is it done? How does it taste?Brewed an American cream ale on 4-3. My first reading was 50. Now im getting 20. So its 1.050 - 1.020 x 131.25 right . That is less then 4% ? This is supoosed to be 5.25 and 5.75.

Since it's not kegged yet there's still time to adjust. Sounds like you should add something to complement the flavor you like.Its got an odd taste . Has a slight taste of beer with a splash of vodka. Idk i was excited about this beer . Now im not so sure .

I poured the beer from the collection ball back in and tightened the lid . The airlock started bubbling a bit ...
Give us some more info so we can help diagnose why your gravity is still high: Grains/Malt extract used, yeast you used, temperature it's fermenting at, etc.
I'd avoid doing this in the future. Anything that touches your wort post-boil needs to be sanitized or else you're risking infecting it.
I really hate room temp beer . I had my daughter taste it and she said it really doesnt have a cream taste . Its very light . What causes a beer to not reach its projected abv?. I poured the beer from the collection ball back in and tightened the lid . The airlock started bubbling a bit . Is it possible its not done fermenting? What could i add to give it more taste?
I used the Brewers Best kit. Everything was in the box . I followed it to a T. Primary for a week temps 65-72 , but mostly a steady 68*. I dumped the trudge in collection ball and secondary same temp for 1 week and 5 days as of now. How do you know if it gets infected? The collection ball didnt have hardly any trudge in it last night. Its part of the conical so i dont know how i could compromise the batch. Its a 9.5 gal fermentor with a collection ball at the bottom.
