Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum and to home brewing. I have brewed an IPA batch that turned out somewhat successful (told it was a little too bitter and over carbonated) and have just brewed my second batch of the same stuff to compare. I had a few questions pertaining to my second batch.
1. Gravity of the beer? What is this all a about? What's a good range for it to be in?
2. Can I open my primary fermenter to take a reading for the gravity and hydrometer while the batch is fermenting?
3. Aerating my beer from brew pot to fermenter... Was siphoning fine enough to aerate it?
4. When can I move from primary to secondary? (just brewed yesterday)
All help is greatly appreciated!
