First time brewer here..well my third batch.
I currently have a American Honey Ale that I had an OG of 1.072 give or take a few .001 and after a week it is currently at 1.020
My question is should I expect to get any lower? Maybe a few .001 lower, not too concerned about that, but I read that stirring the yeast up would help a bit. I did that yesterday...did notice a little activity in the airlock ( I know, I Know, doesn't mean a thing). Plan on checking the gravity again tonight.
I used the White Labs American Ale blend yeast, with no starter, but it sounds/looks like it took off pretty well.
I wouldn't mind this beer being a little sweet, being that it is a honey ale, but not overpowering at all. Should I leave it in the primary a bit longer if the gravity is still going down at all? Or go ahead and rack into secondary?
Thanks for your reply's and all the great info here!!
