Is it necessary to add something (like finnings) to your beer to help catch all the solids and clear up your beer, or will that happen naturally over a couple of weeks? I'm just worried about causing harm to the brew by exposing the brew to bacteria when opening the fermenter to add the finnings.
Then a silly question about the hydrometer. So they say not to bottle your beer if the reading is less than 1006, otherwise the bottles might burst. So my question is this: Is 1007 lower than 1006 or is 1007 higher than 1006? All I'm trying to understand is which way around the numbers work.
