I spit the pack in half and it's fermenting in two 3.5gal buckets. This has helped to keep the temp around 21C the entire time. The last day or so I have noticed the airlock slowing down and I want to check the SG. I have a mash hydrometer.
I just want to know if it is ok to pull the lid off this thing. I have read about spoiled washes due to oxygen so I'm a little wary. I have seen some wash instuctions on the site calling for stirring the wash and things like that. Whats the benifit to this? I have just let mine sit and do its thing for about 6 days now. Just curious where to go from here. Sparkloid is in the mail on its way and I should be getting a 6 gal glass carboy in the next few days as well
