Do you mean I should take it out of the carboy and back into the fermenter? I am sure there is no more fermentation going on... it's been in the glass carboy since August. The primary fermentation was vigorous and good, I am not seeing any signs of infection. Honestly this is the first year I...

That's great news! I am bottling tonight then - and not only that I still have a lot to learn about measurement it looks like. Thank you board for your wisdom

Well the example they gave is basically where I am at, the specific gravity dropped about .026 over the fermentation period. I was hoping to get it down to 1.00 - but I am understanding from what you are saying that the wort correction factor may mean that the FG is not 1.02, maybe it is lower...

Hi- I used a refractometer... I didn't know it didn't work if there is alcohol present! So is it only used for measuring the original gravity? I used cider house yeast

Hi Forum, I am new here. I have 2 batches of cider that are racked in glass carboys with the level about an inch below the bubbler. They've been in there more than a month and no more bubbles or air coming out the lock. I checked specific gravity and it is still up about 1.020, originally...
