Hi,
I'm on my first batch of beer ever - although I've made lots of ginger beer previously.
However I'm having problems with reading my hydrometer. Basically I do not understand how to read it.
On the upper section is a scale 0 ... 10 ... 20 ... etc. All the books I read specify gravity as "1005" etc.
So my wort measured 11 @ 27C, so the piece of paper says I need to add 0.33
Does this mean my S.G. is 1.133? Does that sound right?
I was brewing just a plain light-flavoured beer, not stout or anything.
thanks,
-Hardii
