You got it! How did the hydrometer readings come out?

Finally got a stainless baster at kitchen store And used my hydrometer 1.020 perfect Now I know - refractometer doesnt work after fermentation Thanks for all the help

Yeah Baby !!! Used my hydrometer and got 1.020 - with OG of 1.105 that measures out to 11.14% "Its ALIVE !!!" Also tastes really good - oak has mellowed a bit and cherries are very subtle Thanks for all the advice - its great to have the help of the crowd. Now I know why all my beers...

I've heard that too - I hate trying to take a sample out of the carboy - for the refrac. Only need a few drops for the hydrometer need a full vial How do other people do it?

Yup I did that - made another 2 L starter w champagne yeast (guys at the shop said this would be better for high gravity) It started fermenting but not very strongly went from 1.055 to 1.050 Maybe I should do it again but step it up?

what difference would it make if you are using a refractometer - it won't measure as well post fermentation ? I have a similar problem on a Hair of the Dog Adam clone - started 1.105 finished 1.055 - added a 2 L starter of champagne yeast had a flimsey fermentation down to 1.050 all using my...

I felt the same way - ever hear the joke about the "prospect and the customer"? I'll spare you the whole thing but its funny how you get treated after you've paid for something sometimes !

Hi - I also ordered a brew stand from Marcus. It has been frustrating to say the least ! He's the nicest guy on the phone and I think he means well but it just aint happening. I ordered a Brutus 10 style sytem from him in April. By June he told me I would have it - June turned to July which...
