9. At this point, take a Hydrometer reading of the Specific Gravity by pouring a sample of the wort into the hydrometer jar and float the hydrometer in the sample. Take the reading where the level of your wort intersects on the specific gravity scale of the hydrometer. Write this reading down in your brewing notes. Do NOT return the sample of wort to
the fermenter.
I think I answered my own question, but. I completed my very first brew using the kit I purchased (carboy, secondary bucket, siphoning, all the needed stuff, etc.). The instructions on the recipe for the bottling portion says the beer can be consumed immediately, however letting it sit bottled for an additional 14 - 21 days will allow the beer to finish. I placed two bottles in the fridge after bottling and after 5 days, opened one to taste. It was flat as a pancake. Is this because it still needs time to finish for it to be carbonated? The other 46 bottles are in a box with little to no light in the room.
Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm sure we've all been there at one time or another.
Thank you.
