ive read on my the temperature calibration to be 20, but i can only imagine the difference between reading that that level to be very small, mines 1001 in chilled fridge water (10-14C)

i noticed with my hydrometer that if i had bubbles on the top of the sample it would not work, to solve this you can fill it up to the extent that when you put in the hydrometer the beer over flows n flushes the bubbles out, or just wait. its been almost 24 hours since i added the yeast, i...

ive got to check the title of the book, but ive cross referenced it with websites, info pages from brew shop and the advice for the brew shop owner. it seems to be true that larger yeast is well suited to winter, the recipy i brought from the brew shop (country brewer) is tootheys dry, basicly...
