Satelite gravity readings

LCTitan · Aug 26, 2010

Does anyone use Satalite Gravity readings when fermenting using buckets? This is where you take a beer bottle and collect a sample and place the sample in the bottle and let it ferment right next to the bucket. Seen this on a video and was curious to see if this is really a reliable way to monitor gravity.

That is defiantly an interesting idea. Brainstorming, I would hypothesize that the bottle will ferment out faster than the bucket as it is a smaller volume.

How was the yeast pitched in the video? Did the author fill the bottle after pitching in the bucket or just add some of the yeast to the wort filled bottle?
