Just got a St Peter's kit on, and it said nothing on the box about taking a gravity reading before pitching the yeast.
I'll be using my hydrometer to see if the fermenting has stopped (getting a consistent gravity for three days), but am I missing anything from not taking this initial reading?
Presumably it just means I won't know the strength of my beer. Or, is it OK to open it up and take a reading two days in?
