M brewing my first batch using the True Brew Maestro Series India Pale Ale Kit. After following the directions as closely as I could, it's been in the primary for 1 week. At the start the OG was 1.051 which is exactly what the directions said. Today the reading was 1.02. It looks good, smells good, and tastes OK.
The instructions say the FG should be 1.012 - 1.014 so it has a way to go. If I just followed the directions I'd be bottling now because they say wait a week. But after reading these forums, I knew that taking readings is the only way to know when the beer is done.
It seems to me that this kit's directions are a bit lacking because it doesn't say you should take gravity readings and that it should be done brewing in a week. Does anyone have experience with this kit?
