Brewed my first batch last weekend. An English Pale Ale kit. Fermented strongly for about 24 hrs., and bubbling dramatically subsided. Racked to secondary after 4 days. Took my first hydrometer reading today and it was 1.008. I'm wondering if my final product is closer to root beer than real beer.
Potential error could be when I put product into primary, I only added water to fill pail to 5 gal mark. When I racked to secondary, I lost my siphon near the end of the transfer, and added about 3/4 gal water to fill carboy to neck. Did I dilute way too much?
