I made my first batch from a kit
Amber Ale.
Starting gravity: 1040
Racked to secondary after 4 days, gravity was 1020.
Waited one week before bottling, gravity was down to 1018.
I should have let it sit longer, newbie mistake, I know, lesson learned.
It's been sitting in my basement at around 65-70 for one week and the caps (plastic growlers caps with o-ring) are starting to bulge.
Should I release pressure by opening the cap or just sit it out?
