1.) I have a hefe fermenting right now, which smells amazing btw, day 2. I took a hydrometer reading after putting into the carboy and got a 1.032 reading which as I read more in the forums, seems way too low. Disclaimer, I could have read it wrong but it seemed simple enough, just spin and read. Am I screwed or is there anything I can do to increase gravity after it had already started to ferment?
2.) Recipe says 1-2 weeks in primary, 1-2 weeks bottle conditioned. Everything I hear is "be patient, let it condition for longer." Since I'm kegging with force carb, what does conditioning look like for me? 2 weeks in primary then rack into keg or keep on yeast cake in carboy and let it sit? If in keg, keep it Under pressure or not? Cold or warm temps?
Thanks for your help!
