the hydrometer says sp. gr. 20*C/68*F on the bottom

all i did was pour in the Morgans Canadian Pale Ale tin, pour in the liquid dextrose, fill the pail 1/4 with boiling water, mix it up then add more hot and cold water until the pail was at about 27 degrees, i then took a specific gravity reading which was 1.050. i then added the packet of yeast...
