This is my first batch, so lots of questions, this being one:
my brew has been fermenting in the carboy now for 2 weeks today. It's 5 GAL, the recipe said to keep it in the carboy for 7-14 days. The OG was supposed to be 1.049, mine was about 1.060probably not enough water on my part.
So, should I take a reading, and hope it's dropped to about 1.003 or so? then bottle? (not sure what the final gravity is supposed to be, as the recipe doesn't specify that)
And if the gravity reading isn't significant'y lower, what should I do?
Thanks in advance
