Hi Guys,
I'm really new to this hobby and kinda like it until now. I filled my first fermenter yesterday with a kit of Muntons American Style Light Ale. I have two questions for you to help me:
1) My hydrometer was showing 1,300. I think it's too high. Is it possible I missread and it is 1,030 ??? I'm pretty sure it was written 300 on it but the spaces between 1,000-1,100-1,200-1,300 are really small. Do you think it's a problem ?
2) My Muntons kits instructions says to leave it covered for 5-7 days and then to bottle it. I though I should do a transfer to my glass corboys in 7 days and then wait for 2 weeks. What do you suggest ? and should I add something to the carboy if I need to transfer it ?
Thanks
Steve
