Good evening everyone first time posting, brewed my first batch (5 gal) on 1/21/13 of some Belgian Saion (brewers best kit). My OG was supposed to be between 1.048 to 1.052 and it ended up coming in low at 1.044. The FG is supposed to be between 1.011 to 1.015. I checked it yesterday for the first time as I haven't seen any bubbles in two days so first when I opened it I thought I had mold on top but everyone is telling me yeast rafts and that I'm good. However I took a FG reading and it is at 1.003 which seems real low. Did I ruin this and also how long should I leave it in the primary (plastic) bucket. I don't have a secondary either. Let me know what u guys think. Also the smell was more of a stale beer like when leaving a ball park after the morning tailgating crew. Also seems clouded will this clear itself up. I'm hoping I didn't screw it up as once this is done I picked up a Falconers Flight IPA kit that I'm dying to brew based on the smell of the hops alone
