New To Brewing

[timmyoz]

I have had the brew in the fermenting keg for 12 days (as I have been out of town).

Starting gravity 1.030
after 7 days 1.012
after 12 days 1.013

Should the gravity be climbing ???? Have I done anything wrong. Should I get it into the bottles?

Welcome to the AHB board, timmyoz.

The short answer is no, it shouldn't rise.

Test it again tomorrow, and if the sg is the same, then bottle. If the sg is lower, wait another day and test again.

That is, if you get the same reading over two consecutive days, then it's bottle time.

Thanks for the advice and the quick reply I will keep a close eye on it tomorrow.
