After doing some more research on refractometers, I realize my error with that they don't account for the alcohol addition. And in reality, using http://www.northernbrewer.com/learn/resources/refractometer-calculator/, it seems my current gravity is actually 1.014, so good to go. Thanks for...

For the refractor, I'm using this Brix/SG combo, https://www.midwestsupplies.com/refractometer-atc-with-brix-sg-scale. I started using this as it seemed like the hydrometer always had too large of a margin of error. Using it with the last wheat beer I made showed a FG of 1.017, so it seems to...

What yeast you are using -> SafeAle US-05 What temp you are fermenting -> ~76 F Are you using an ATC or ambient -> ambient Are you using a hydrometer or refractometer -> refractometer What type of fermenter are you using ie when you did a reading did you reseal the lid well -> The lid was...

So I added yeast on Friday (three days ago), by Saturday morning was a vigorous bubble, Sunday slowing down, and so far today (Monday), not a single bubble, completely stopped. Other batches I've done have slowed down for sure, but not completely stopped. I understand it's probably starting the...

Does it matter too much for how quickly you add yeast to the fermenter? I'll be brewing a double batch going into one fermenter 2x the size of the brew system, so one batch is brewed one day, the second the following day, with the yeast being added after the second batch is included...

Thanks, much appreciated.

I'm in the process of brewing a wheat beer using Fermentis WB-06. It started bubbling the day after brewing, bubbling every 5 seconds or so, and it's now been three weeks, still bubbling but has slowed down to once every 1-2 minutes. The SG is down to 1.015. Question: It already has a decent...
