Hi guys. I'm currently fermenting my first extract Pilsener and was after some advice. It was planned as a 9ltr batch, but since l'm using the system for the first time l didn't hit the 9ltrs after the boil. I only got 8 (although l still hit smack on my expected OG of 1050). Therefore l'm guessing she's going to be a bit thicker as a result.
My problem is, last night (after 1.5 weeks in the primary) it hit 1018 and l decided to rack it to the secondary. I thought since its only dropping 1gravity point per day it had slowed enough to rack. Have l racked it too early, and will it make a difference? I was thinking l wouldn't get down to my orginal expected FG of 1012 since the change in volume so it was ok ... now l'm not so sure. Was l too keen??
