Alright guys I brewed my first ever batch on Jan. 18 and it's an NB American Wheat everything went alright for being a first timer so what I really want to know is the OG is showing to be 1.043 on the instructions but at that time I did not have a hydrometer so I could not check it. It has been in the primary ever since and haven't bothered it (except for me & my little girl staring at it constantly) so it seems to be doing good so the question is when should I check the gravity since I now have a hydrometer.
