Hi
Very new to home brewing and currently 8 days into brewing a Coopers Canadian Blonde kit. I didn't take a hydrometer reading before adding yeast. The brew went wild for a few days then settled and had become quite clear.
I've just taken a reading showing 1.002. I know I need to get this consistently for another couple of days before I consider bottling but does this sound like a good reading? I'm unsure what the best reading should be. The brew has been at 20-22c in the FV pretty consistently.
Also, any advice on Coppers plastic bottles? They're affordable but is glass much better?
Apologies for the kindergarten questions my brewing peers!
