I do not want to interrupt the ferm to take another reading. I am guessing it will go dry in 3-5 more days at the rate this airlock is singing and bubbles etc. I will take another reading on the 30th. Thanks for actually giving a informed answer. Unlike others I have met on here. Brain

I am in NO WAY whining. And Yes I made that statement about a certain batch but this is different when I am actually listing measuring amounts and listing things used in the process with actual juice used from a recognized award winning Winery and asking questions with a Informed and looking for...

I have a question. My original reading for a musk is 1.150 with a calibrated Hydrometer. Used Another one Calibrated just a bit difference in calibration temp. and Both had the same reading. Given a a bit of room for an off reading doesn't that seem high before yeast is pitched? Just Sugar was...
