Morning kind folks!
Well I've been very good and only checked my wherry this morning, rest of the week apart from the odd conversation (it gets lonely in the kitchen when I'm cooking!), I've left her alone. After spotting the cunning idea about leaving the hydrometer in the FV rather than repeatedly sterilising it, I plunged one in just now. Good news (I hope!), the reading is now 1012 from a starting point of 1042. Do we think we're just about there? I'll check again tomorrow to make sure the reading is the same, but what do you all think? These a few yeasties floating on the surface, which I wasn't expecting but I assume they will eventually settle in the barrel? Oh and the aroma is most engaging already :thumb:
