After fail on my first attempt to brew Pale Ale a month ago. Last week I tried again with an IPA kit. Yesterday was the one week point in my ferm bucket. I added 1oz of columbus hops for the dry hop. Took a hydrometer reading while the lid was open. The reading was appr 1.027. My initial reading (week earlier) was 1.067. Finished reading should be at or near 1.017.
Am I on target as far as two weeks of fermenting in the ferm bucket? Or should I take another reading in 3-4 days and see if it is at or near 1.017? Does it need to be in the ferm bucket for two weeks or do I go by my hydrometer reading?
Thanks!
