Newbie hydrometer question...I just brewed my first batch yesterday! Beyond excited! I was deep into the brewing process when I remembered that I was at the point of getting a hydrometer reading. I have never used one before but I have one. But I don't have anything to use as a sample "vile", to drop the hydrometer into. Any suggestions on something I could use? Household item or something I could buy in town?
Oh and I might as well ask too...now that the primary fermenter is sealed and workin, can I freely open it to take a hydrometer reading? Or is this something that is recommended to only be done at certain times?
Thanks so much for the help!,
