Is My Wheat Ale Stuck?

<< < (3/3)

CB-Illinois:
One last question about this...how do you guys take specific gravity readings.  I do not have a graduated cylinder so I just sterilized my hydrometer and placed it in the bucket of fermenting beer.  Could that cause the reading to be off?

morticaixavier:
It might cause it to be off a bit as there is disolved co2 in the beer that can cling to the hydrimeter and lift it slightly. until I got a sample cylinder I just used the plastic cylinder that the hydro comes in. Either a wine thief or a clean new turkey baster for pulling samples.
