I thought, once set up, the brew was to be left alone until fermentation stopped (or got stuck).
Should I be stirring for the first couple of days?

Can you get electronic hydrometers?PMH0810 wrote:Makes me happier to leave it until finished (unless it sticks) - thank you for the advice!
Can I trouble you further? Made the kit with 500g light spraymalt and 750g brewers sugar (glucose). OG was 1055 (as far as I can see - must get an electronic meter) and sites I surf suggest FG should reach about 1010. Doe this sound about right (just so I have something to aim for!).
