Hooray, hooray... brew has settled! Well, more or less. I'm playing a little fast and loose with Hydrometer Readings (Author's Note: No shit!), but goddamnit, it's close enough for me! Dissolved beer finings* in a half-cup of lukewarm water, then stirred into brew. In 48 hours it should hopefully be ready for brewing.
* Pro-tip: Beer finings are a goddamn waste of $2. Later I was to discover the two-pronged approach of (a) Irish Moss and (b) racking the beer from a primary fermenter to a secondary vessel, but I'm getting a little ahead of myself. I didn't know any of that shit then and in the grand scheme of things, I don't really know shit now. But back to the brew log...
At this stage, I realise that it would be good to have (a) a better Hydrometer (or learn how to use the one you've got?), (b) a digital thermometer and (c) a longer brewing spoon. If there is such a thing as a digital hydrometer (there isn't!), it would behoove me to get one.
