Hi guys,
I'm planning on putting an all grain brew down tonight and it's a recipe that I haven't tried before (Doc's Yard glass Lite). My wife sent me a message saying that she accidently dropped and broke that "funny glass tube thing you use when you brew". Hmmm... does anyone nearby have a spare hydrometer I can use to see if I am in the ballpark with this recipe? I am in Highett, Melbourne.
I am planning on kicking off the brew regardless and just keeping some pre and post boil samples to measure later, but I know I will be struggling to get to a homebrew shop anytime this weekend to replace the hydrometer. As I'm making a lite/mid beer, I'd like to be able to tell people that are drinking what the ABV is with some reliability. Do you think my idea of keeping samples and measuring them later checks out? I also have the option of borrowing one from my dad but I won't be able to get it for a week or so.
Or should I just forget about it and make beer??
