Usually I expect beers to take 1 week in primary and 1-2 weeks in secondary before bottling (not financially up to kegging yet).
This beer is (seriously, no lying) a Russian Imperial Stout which started at 1.082 adjusted for temperature (78f) checked right after brewing. A bit low maybe? I now have reached 1.021 which is exactly my expected FG per brewtarget.
I tried about 20oz because I had about that much beyond what fit in my secondary. I am not inclined to doubt the readings :cross:.
Do I:
1. Thank the beer gods with a proper sacrifice, and then bottle today?
2. buy a new hydrometer?
3. leave it in secondary for a week just because I'm used to doing that?
