So today after nine days in fermentation I decided to take a hydrometer reading. The readi g was pretty darn close to the FG. Should there be cause for concern about the reading or is this typical at a little over a week? The beer smelled fantastic!
Only if you're spending money on what Mr Malty & the like call a "proper pitch". Seems just shy of over-pitching to me. Beyond that sort of thing,it won't be done in a week for the average brewer/beginer. More like 3-3.5 weeks to get down to FG & settle out clear or slightly misty.
I'm curious why you suggest over pitch as well?unionrdr said:Only if you're spending money on what Mr Malty & the like call a "proper pitch". Seems just shy of over-pitching to me.
