Ok , ive just finished my first brew day.... I am having trouble reading this hydrometer the kit came with. Its a France triple scale. On the SG scale it has only 2 digit numbers. I took a reading of 42, 1 notch under the 40 mark. Now im thinking my reading is 1.042? Im also amusing it just shows the last 2 digits and you just add 1.0__ and what you see is the numbers you fill in the blank. Im brewing a autumn amber ale extract w/ steeping grains from midwest supply. Ive looked ever where and all i come up with is hydrometers that actually spell out the 1.000 number. Im also wondering what my starting SG should be for the wort that I made.
