Hi fellow brewers,
Do any of you monitor gravity readings with a refractometer at the end of fermentation? I do 3 gallon batches in 6 gallon fermenters, and my thief can't even extract enough of a sample for my hydrometer to measure. Plus taking a hydrometer sample for a 3 gallon batch takes too much beer :cross:
I know it's possible to use brix for FG, but the alcohol skews the readings. Any advice? Thanks!
