Thanks for the replies everyone. I read in how to brew og should be about 20-25% lower? Not sure what Temp its at now, probably upper 60s though. Not in any rush maybe do another reading in 3 days or so, 2 week mark.

finally took the reading 1.020 down from 1.062, 10 days fermenting. Guess I'll give it a few more days and one more reading. I would have figured most yeast would be used up by now?

So I brewed my 2nd ever beer, a stout last Thursday. The first 6-12 hours it was going crazy in the fermenter but ever since, pretty much nothing. Is this normal or what? I did take the OG (right on point to what was in Home Brew book) and haven't taken it since, once I find some sanitizer...

Yo Dude thanks for the reply. It was a gift from my bro, 'black series' 1 gallon brew kit, from 'shift3' just generic ingredients - row + crystal malt, 'hops' haha and yeast, no specifics. You do have a good point about the amount of liquid. I cook, and cook pasta, etc, takes a while but no...

Hey guys. Just got my first 1 gallon brew kit the other day! Done a lot of reading on here in the past, but excited to actually brew something! Just got a basic 1 gallon kit with a pale ale kit. Was considering using different ingredients than what's in it, but maybe I should just keep it...
