Gravity tips/confirmation

Post by Stomach » Mon Aug 23, 2010 3:25 pm

Just a quick help request on gravity.

OG - is that original gravity? and When is it taken?
FG - Finished gravity? and when is that taken?

Cheers

More daft questions to follow! :D

Once you have added all your fermentables and appropriate amount of water. At point of pitching the yeast is when to measure the OG.

Once you believe that fermentation has slowed or stopped then Final Gravity should be taken. This should remain unchanged for at least 24hrs to confirm that fermentation has completed.

I hope that is clear enough.
