OK, my brew has been fermenting for 4 days now, and the reading is 1.014. It started at 1.020. Ive read that alcohol weighs less than water, so it should be less than 1.000.
What number should it be at least when bottling? Does it have to be in the green on the hydrometer, or can it be in the yellow?
Also, would it harm my brew if I left it for an extra day or two after I think it has finished fermenting. I ask this cause I dont want it to go off.
Thanks again...
