Hi Brewers,
I had an absolute "Barry Crocker" the other day I cooked up an amber ale, anyway I transferred my boiled wort and other inferdients into the fermenter and "topped up with cold water" anyway I I went to take a reading before pitching the yeast,and I dropped my Hydrometer and smashed it, with no other hydrometer around,so I just decided to pitch the yeast, and not worry about it, anyway I have kept a prett constant eye on this brew and have witnessed absolutely no movement of the airlock at all it has been 6 days now and still no movement anyway since then I have managed to pick up another Hydrometer and curiosity got the best of me, I "drew off a sample from the tap and checked it the reading is down to 1010 or in range stating it is finished, again I couldn't resist to have a "swig" of the sample glass and it tastes great!
My question is does this sound right I saw zero movement from the airlock none at all during this whole time ,and being still fairly new I have watched it like a hawk!
Anyone?
