I know you need to take a hydrometer reading before you pitch for OG and before bottling for FG, but what about during fermentation?
It's been 4 days since brew day and my wort has already gone through a vigorous fermentation and has slowed down to the point where there are no more bubbles in the airlock. The beer has cleared up now too.
So as a general rule of thumb, the process should be: OG reading, pitch yeast, wait till there are no more bubbles in the airlock then take another reading for about 3 consecutive days, wait 2-4 weeks to condition beer, FG reading, bottle.
Correct?
