Hey all, Just thought I'd say hello to ya'll. I'm brand spankin' new to this hobbie and I must say I already love it! My very first batch is currently on it's 10th day of fermenting and I can't wait to bottle it this weekend. It's a cream stout recipe from my local HB supply store. I tasted a batch he had there and it was pretty good... at least I have something to compare it with...
Anyway, I suppose I do have a quick question: If I'm supposed to leave the air lock on, and I'm supposed to check the SG of the brew... how do I do that without opening the air lock and sticking a racking cane in? Should I just go the two week fermentation and hope for the best when it comes time for bottling? Ok, that's all... thanks!
