when I brew that is. I had my first bad day brewing today. I was so excited to brew, had my kit, and the house almost to myself. I had just finished my brew (a nice wheat) unfortunately the temp had not gone down enough. Now the signs were there that something bad might happen( overflowed the sparge, carboy spilling, water not being cold enough) anyway decided to try and give it an ice bath. Got it in the ice bath and thought Oh yeah forgot to take my reading with my hydrometer.
How did this all end you ask.... with me breaking my carboy and losing 5 gallons of good brew. The horror,the pain of it all. The only good point is that I had yet to pitch the yeast.
SO this leads me to ask how do ypu guys get enough beer to take a reading????
