shake shit out of fermenter, retake sample

if you are sampling water from the top thats why you are getting 1.005

fermentation will mix it up if this is the case anyways.

I would not brew without the refractometer now, its like a security blanket, it tells me exactly where I am during the brew process....  especially with wheat beers.

Thanks mate, I am taking from the top. It was an aftersight because I forgot to take sample earlier.

It is one of the Debles Kiwi Pale Ales that you gave me and they are just SO good that I dont want to lose one.

Great news I am about 99% sure a mash cant fail that badly... I knew nothing when I started and i still made beer better then kits.   I have the debles pale ale 1 day away from rack to secondary and final hop, will test taste and dry hop before beer festival.....with matching food.

if you brew once a month , in 10 years you will have 120 brews experience!!!! almost every disaster will have happened...    I have not included koppa floc still made a great beer!
