I have a Kolsch in the primary sitting a 65df, how long should I wait before taking a reading?
2 to 3 weeks
This may sound like a dumb question but this is my first batch, so do you have to take a reading with the hydrometer? I just really don't wanna mess anything up. Also would it be a bad thing if I went ahead and racked the beer after 7 days? I had so much fun making my first batch, I already have the second kit out and ready.
Don't rack until your hydrometer tells you too. That's why I check once a week. When it hits it's FG and then is the same the next week, I consider it done. More time in the primary after fermentation is complete is a GOOD thing.
