I just brewed an American Pale Ale from the Brewers Best extract kit. Followed all the directions, though I think I may have under pitched the yeast and possibly didn't aerate the wort well when starting primary. The recipe calls for 5-7 days primary. As a rookie mistake, I kept looking in to see if the foam had subsided so I could rack to secondary but thought the thin layer of foam still there was actually a lot more so i figured it wasn't done fermenting yet.
Anyway, I ended up checking the gravity 9 days into primary and it read very low at 1.008. I racked it into secondary and now I'm wondering if I should do anything to it during secondary to make up for the low gravity and ABV or should I just go straight to bottling? Also is it possible I just waited too long in primary?
