Hi Guys
I was searching the forum to try and find some info on the FestaBrew kits (bought the Cervesa mix). I just started getting into the home brew hobby and am having fun so far. This is my first brew. I'm day four of fermenting. The instructions say 3-5 and most people on the forum are saying throw the instructions out.
I took a hydrometer reading today because my local brewing store told me to check that out before going to secondary. It's in a plastic bucket right now, and I wanted to know if it'd be the right time to move to the glass carboy.
The reading on the hydrometer was close to 1.020-1.030. This seems high to me. The OG reading was at 1.040. So it seems like I'm still in the middle of the fermentation process. But my air lock doesn't seem to be doing much lately. However, I read that the air lock doesn't necessarily have to be bubbling to be fermenting.
From what the instructions say (once it's fully done fermenting and ready to be transferred to bottles) it should be anywhere between 1.009-1.018 but that would be once it's been in the glass carboy for a few weeks right?
I've been trying to keep at a constant temperature. And for the most part, I've been around 19-21 degrees Celsius
I've got a picture for you to take a look at.
Thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated! Thanks guys
