I want to take a hydrometer reading from the beer in the carboy. How do you get it in there and get it out? Do you tie a string to it or will that affect the reading? I tied some floss to it and the reading says it is only like 3% alcohol. It has been fermenting for over 2 weeks now, I would hope to have a higher alcohol content than that. Are the hydrometers pretty accurate for alcohol content? Thanks for the help.
