Been brewing for 6 years now... I've rarely checked gravity readings, I've only taken a reading after 3 weeks of the brew sitting around. I've decided I should start taking a few readings during the brew process, just to get to know my beers a bit better. Oh, and I stopped doing secondary, so I only do primary in a plastic bucket...
I could open the top and take readings that way, or some have suggested I really should add a spigot to my fermenter. Others say I risk messing up my bucket by creating places for infections to hide.
I'm interested in peoples' opinions on this.
