Hello! This is my first brew!
The fermentation bucket I got didn't have a hole in for an airlock, so I've had to use a hydrometer to decifer whether the fermentation is complete. It has been in the bucket for 6 days today. Day 5 read 1020 on the meter, and today, day 6, also read 1020. It says it should be 1014 to become ready for the barrel.
I'm guessing it still needs to be in the bucket for a but until it reaches 1014?
Just wanting some suggestions on what to do?
Thank you!
