    i have been and invested in a hydrometer... for the princely sum of £2.59 (didnt realise they would be that cheap) but anyway... it has been in the fermenting bucket for 5 days now... and it got a reading of 1030 or something...... is that about right? or is it too low? or too high? :S helpppp!!!!
