Hi there fellow brewers,
Long time AHB trauler, first time poster. So many HB pearls of wisdom and recipes over the years, so cheers to that.
I am using my fermentasaurus for the fist time after upgrading from the standard barrel fermenter.
Mistake: I drained the chilled wort into the fermentasaurus and pitched yeast without taking a gravity reading. And not super confident using the butterfly valve. Normally not a problem with a barrel as it has the plastic tap that is easy to manage the flow.
Not super concerned to know the ABV, however I want to avoid exploding bottles so need to know when it's done. Once the trub and hops settle out towards the end of the brew how to I take the final gravity readings.
Any tips for taking efficient fermentasaurus hydrometer readings from the AHB experts? Couldn't find anything on their website or google
Cheers
Nick
