Brewed Northern Brewer Hefeweizen 1 week ago. I added blood orange peel at 15 min and it all went into carboy. I am not planning on moving into secondary.
A few questions about SG:
1. After how long in carboy should I begin taking SG readings?
2. I have read many times here that I should bottle only after a consistent reading three days in a row, this is what I should aim for right?
3. Lastly, I am trying to better understand what SG is...can someone break it down into simple terms for me? Right now I have a very vague understanding of what I'm even measuring or trying to achieve by "hitting the right SG"!
Thanx!
