I have a stout im brewing that FG should be 1.014. For three days my hydrometer readings are 1.018. Not awesome, but decent. The only thing that is stopping me from bottling is that the beer itself seems to have bubbles slowly coming to the top of the liquid, which makes me think it's...

This made me laugh. Thanks guys!

Thanks guys.

Is there a real thing of top versus bottom meniscus?

A little embarrassed to say that I'm never a hundred percent sure how to read these so figured I'd ask for some quick help. Attached a picture of a hydrometer reading. Ignoring the temperature adjustment, what do you guys read that as? I read it as 1.018 (btw the lines are increments of .002)

I've done this with the ANOVA. Mine stopped working after the first time I left it in for the mash. I since got a new one but only use it to preheat my water. I've actually used the Joule which is great because you can access it via app on your phone from anywhere. So I set my pot and water up...

Thanks guys. I'm going to chalk this up as an issue with my volume measurements. I was using the etched lines on my pot but it might be time to move up to something more accurate. How are you guys measuring volumes?

@grimbrewer yea I did. I actually let it sit for a long time and took the reading at 70 degrees and adjusted it for temp. I did this for both of the readings. The post mash one sat for an extended period of time actually. The reading adjusted for temp and at 70 degrees both came out the same.

Thanks guys. Let me double check my beer Smith entries. Thanks again.

Hey guys, Long time lurker first time posting, love the forum and all the info you guys have. So yesterday I brewed an all grain IPA using BIAB and doing a five gallon batch. Everything was going well. Used Beersmith to calculate my day. Hit my post mash gravity of 1.059 with 7.5 gallons...
