Hello all, a new brewer here. I just brewed my first beer (brewers best IPA). My OG was 1.061/62. I put it into my basement and left it alone for the most part, just peeping in ion it every so often. On day 3 i took a gravity reading which read 1.019. The kit states that the OG should be 1.062 so i was right on there. It says my FG should be around 1.014-1.017. The beer had calmed down alot so while i had it up stairs with the lid off i decided to put it into a secondary fermentation. I have read many things about getting it off the sediment bed and also to leave it in primary for at least two weeks. well i put it in a 5 gallon glass carboy and added some citra hops to it. I just checked on it and it looks like the fermentation has kicked up again. I am wondering if i should have left it alone in primary to let thye yeast do more work on it or switching it was okay. Just looking for experience and or advice.
