Hi all
I got bought some new home brew equipment for Xmas and this weekend I have gave it a testing!
I have done a cider kit in my new fermenting bucket but after 2 day's it's still not bubbling.
I know that's not an indication itself of fermenting starting so I opened it up just once to take this picture. This looks like it started right?
I have always been dubious about getting a hydrometer as I am not sure I'll be able to read it correctly but I'm going to have to take the plunge and try. Are there any good sights I can read in order to get familiar with how you use one?
One last question, how often do you take a reading and do you pour the beer out or put it back in the bucket?
Cheers all
