Hydrometer Reading

By Mike | August 2, 2007

The fermentation is nearly complete.   There is significantly less activity in the fermentation container and noticeable layer of sediment at the bottom.  According to the book its time to take a few readings with the hydrometer and if it stays unchanged for a few days it is time to bottle.   I’m hoping to be able to bottle this Sunday.  The reading was 1.012, and I sampled the product after taking the reading.  It tasted like beer.  Warm flat beer but still beer.  I’m a little concerned about the logistics of the whole bottling process, but I’ll worry about that Sunday.  Or wait.  I’m not supposed to worry.  I’m supposed to have a home brew.
