Well, I took a reading upon transfer from primary to secondary. The gravity was showing at 1.034. I added some more yeast for the secondary just to get anything that was still in there, but they don't seem to be doing a whole lot. I've probably gotten what I'm going to get, so we'll see what...

I know...but look at the recipe I put in earlier...I olny added a little over 11# of extract total! Weird! The yeast are loving it though...total blowoff

I did the test for the hydrometer, and it appears to be fine. Water reading was 1.000, and after dissolving 1 lb sugar in 1 gal of water, I got 1.044. So everything looks to be correct. The temp of the wort at the initial reading was higher than 60 deg. Would that have made the reading that...

Well, I didn't put too much DME in, and my reading is correct. I've taken it a couple of times, with the average reading being 1.145 or so. The recipe is a 5 gallon batch, taken from the "Clone Brews" book. It is for Skull Splitter, which is a high gravity beer, but not as high as I am...

Hi, Been brewing for a little while now, and because of some difficulty with all-grain recipes a while back, my wife and I have been sticking to extract batches for the last year or so. We just brewed today, and have a super high original gravity reading. The recipe we are using calls for...
