Hi all,
So this is my first time doing a homebrew and picked up a pliny clone. I followed the instructions to a t and everything seemed to go well. I started with a gravity reading of 1.095 and piched my yeast. It took about 15 hours and then went crazy and it blew out of my air lock. I quickly cleaned it up and switched from a air lock to a blow off tube into some sanitazed water and the crazinees continued for about 12 hours. I am now on day 4 ( I started Tuesday night) and things have mellowed out. I am supposed to wait about one week and then transfer the beer for my dry hopping and 2nd fermentaion. Is this the right thing to do or should I wait longer? My other question is what should my end gravity reading be at before I aad my priming sugar and begin to bottle. I thank you for any help.
