Effect of yeast, hops, aeration, etc. on OG reading?
Just curious, what kind of effect would the presence of:
A) a decent yeast starter (minus starter beer)
B) hop pellet fragments (assuming no hop bag)
C) vigorous manual aeration
D) oxygen injection
E) break material
...have on an OG reading?
I always measure OG before pitching and aeration, but I usually have hops in there.
