Im on my second beer brew and I am working on a pumpkin stout. I like a moron didn't take a reading before secondary fermentation. I figured eight days was good it bubbled the airlock for 3 days. Now in secondary stage I move it to the kitchen the night before bottling day (today) and BOOM airlock activity like day two of fermenting. Im wondering if I stirred up activity from the trub? To check this I think I need a hydrometer reading but im unsure what container to use for a sample? Any help would be great.
Also if any one knows a good book I could read on beer making practices?
