I have a few kits started now and have noticed a couple things in the directions that make me curious.
1. The instructions generally seem to say to add the bentonite and then to take an initial SG reading. Seems to me that anything dissolved in the must solution would throw off the SG. Is there just not enough bentonite to make a difference?
2. My instructions generally say to take the primary fermenter and place it 3 to 4 feet off the ground world will not be disturbed. Why the 3-4 ft?
