it sat for a week at 64 degrees. gravity did not change between day 4 and 7... when taking gravity readings, should it matter where in the pail the sample came from? I took both readings through the spigot.
The beer was in the primary for 1 week. It measured a bit high right before pitching... well, here are my measurements...
