Hi all,
this is my first ever attempt at brewing and i don't know if i've done something wrong
I have just made up the BetterBrew Czech Pilsner, using 500g of brewing sugar and 500g of Muntons Extra Light Spraymalt.
Anyway, its all in the bucket and before i added the yeast i took a sample for my hydrometer, threw in the yeast and the lid is now on and the brew is hopefully doing its thang.
My panic starts with my first hydrometer reading
According to the scale that came with it, it says that beer should start from a reading of 1.060. My reading starts at 1.072.
Is this ok? Have i done something wrong
Thanks in advance
