Hello,
On third batch and seem to always find new issues/questions. Decided to move beer to secondary fermentation container after app. 7 days to help reduce sediment in final product. Original SG was 1.42 ... yesterday SG was 1.24. Beer looked fine and was sending up small bubbles slowly but consistently. Beer was clearing and Krauson(?) had dropped to bottom. Once I moved it I dry hopped it with .5 oz of Galaxy hops. Plan to leave it in second fermentation for at least a week before bottling. Will also check SG again and make sure it has stopped dropping. My question is did I move it too soon ? I get this bad feeling that I should have left it alone for up to a week more. Any advice would be great ....thanks !
