    Thanks Warren.. I'll rack it tonight and go from there, Would you recommend scooping the skin off first.. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the yeast (kinda looks like it), just very surprised to find it on top like a skin.. The original reading was very high 1080 would that have anything to do...

    HELP!! I put a brew on last tuesday (19/4) I haven't seen the airlock bubble at all.

I took one last night...
