So I just put my yeast in my first try at home brewing. I can not wait to see how it all turns out. I know I made my mistakes I am sure. But one mistake I think I made was getting a Brewcraft Kit and Recipe Pack. The first thing is that there are no instructions in the Kit other then the siphon and the hydrometer. So I had no idea what some of the parts where for. I am sure most of my problems are just user error but I found myself going to my computer looking up what to do next and what something was used for. The recipe pack instructions where just a generic and not just for the beer that I was making which made my first time that much more tricky.
One question I have is how do I use the hydrometer with our a hydrometer jar? I tried using part of the siphon to take the reading which worked as well as I thought it would. How do I get the reading with out a hydrometer jar? That would be something I would have expected do have been in the instructions that should have come with the kit.
