Have just started to brew a coopers English bitter kit I mixed 500g of beer sugar and 500g of dry malt extract my hydrometer reading before I added yeast was 1.04 does that sound about right? Also I Havnt got airlock on the Fermentor so I left lid slightly loose is that ok? And how long before I will notice the yeast working? Thanks
 
I added approx 1.3 gallon of hot just after the can of malt extract and then stirred and topped it upto 5 gallon in total after I had added sugar and dme this is the first time I have brewed hope it's ok
