                  I'm just slow lol. Was my first time doing a double batch and water heating took long.
                  Couple hours wasted on getting the fermenter setup. Also has issues with getting the ispindel connected.

                  That said it's fermenting strong this morning

                        So I'm reading the meniscus level and you're not? ... since the meniscus is the lower reading

                        Once again, who cares if you calculate 6,3%abv and I 6,5% ...I don't think there is someone that would taste 0.2% difference ... besides Toxxyc maybe

                        • Nah, I've given up. You may be able to taste it, but it'll be good beer anyways.

                          But yes I agree with Jigsaw, that's 1.062. Read at the liquid level, not the meniscus creeping up the sides.

                          EDIT: That's also why I fill the test tube to the top, so that the hydrometer is floating out the top with the reading being visible completely, and not through plastic.

                            Maybe I should also brew a clone recipe, the only one I came close to using was the Centennial Blonde, but there I modified it a bit too. All my beers were designed by me, a total noob at brewing. Maybe not the best way to start. Luckily they all tasted reasonably good so far.

                              I feel for the same trap...until I brewed a perfectly balanced beer from a recipe (I tweaked it a bit), it makes the world of difference - use other people's expertise...

                                What I did so far was to decide on a style, then in Brewfather designed it to style with the sliders right in the middle, except for abv and sg, there I aim for 4%.

                                I have grains for my next Blonde, this one was modified in the shop when I went to buy by someone that has loads of brewing experience, so I have a good feeling about this one.

                                For my next brew I will find a nice recipe on Brewfather or Brewers Friend with loads of good reviews and see how that works out. I have to say that trying to design a beer to style is half the fun for me and I've probably had lots of beginners luck, cause they were all better than what I can buy from commercial breweries imho.
