This may sound totally rediculous, but I have my kit from midwest and just need my ingridents. The only thing really keeping me from starting my brew is taking gravity readings!! Yes, go ahead and laugh!! = (
I've read the first two chapters in Palmer's book, but where does he descriptively say how to determine the gravity? I've read misc. websites that says to pour a little wort in a glass and take the reading there, instead of directly putting the hydrometer in the wort.
Could someone please explain how I take the gravities, and when? I'm assuming after the wort is cooled to take one, but how? Do I pour a little in a seperate container and get the original reading there? How do I take additional readings without disturbing the fermentation process?
Thanks A LOT to whomever answers this question! This has been bugging me from the very beginning! Thanks again!!!
