Checked it again with a different hydrometer (borrowed from my experienced mate) he agrees, it's reading 1010 across all 3 samples I took today. I don't like this sampling thing it's taking away my beer!

It was a kit so not really many ingredients to list. Just the kit and .5 kg dex It's been sitting at 22℃ since I put it in a cooler spot was at 24℃Max before that. Original SG was 1035 I'm just gonna bottle it tomorrow and see how it goes in a couple of weeks in the bottles. Knowing me it'll...

Cheers guys. I'm not planning on rushing into adventures of partial mash too quick! I'll get a few good kit based batches through my gear first and go from there!

Forgot to mention. My first brew is a Mangrove Jacks golden lager and I plan to do a cider run immediately after bottling this beer batch. The local brew shop is great! Across the road from work (literally) so will make things quite easy to keep the ball rolling. I'm also interested in...
