Hello everyone,
I'm on my sixth extract batch right now and have ordered from a couple of different online homebrew suppliers. It seems that every one of them has a different method for obtaining the gravity of the wort, whether it's to be obtained when pitching the yeast or slightly before pitching the yeast. I'm using a plastic fermentation bucket and I would assume if I used a carboy as a primary that I could just leave the hydrometer in the carboy to record gravity.
My current set up is a plastic fermentation Ale Pail for the primary and a Better Bottle for the secondary. What is the best way to obtain a starting and final gravity to determine ABV?
