I can't wait to actually start drinking this! Anyone else finding themselves checking it every few hours?
I am brewing a Canadian blonde ale from Cooper's. On the instructions from the guy at the homebrew store, he told me after 10 days, you can start bottling. I know, I know...the longer you wait, the better.
Anyway, my SG readings are as follows:
March 24-1.028
Today-1.022
I forgot to take an initial one (oops!). I am kind of confused about how the readings work.
So as there is more alcohol, the density decreases (compared to water), so the hydrometer sinks more thus giving a lower reading? Is that right? It is just a little confusing as when I look at the scale, it makes it seem as though the numbers should be increasing. Sorry for newbie questions but I guess this is the newbie forum right?
Another dumb question: I tasted it and it well...sort of tastes like beer! I wont' get sick from drinking it will I?
Can someone clarify this for me? So big question is, when can I bottle?? Estimated SG reading?
