Can someone please explain this to me:
The "proper" way to tell when the beer is finished fermenting in the primary, is when you reach your FG, correct? That is, 2-3 days with the same gravity reading. How can you properly take a reading when (from what I understand) the point is to keep that CO2 blanket on top of the beer while fermenting in the primary?
If I open the lid to get some of the beer to take a reading from, isn't that providing a negative effect on the fermentation?
Thanks for any advice.
