Tested the hydrometer... it reads a perfect 1000 with water at 70 degrees.
I just made an American Wheat with the following recipe:
-- 6lbs wheat extract
--0.5.lbs dextrose
1.2oz various hops.
boiled for 1.5 hours, then cooled using copper wort chiller.
poured the wort through strainer into ale pale, then filled it up to 5 gallons with plenty of sloshing around to aerate the wort + mix together with the water.
Let sit for 5 minutes to come to temperature: a perfect 68 degrees.
Then took a S.G. reading... 1030!?? WHAT THE H?
Thoughts?
