I Don't Get It

[Ignoble Grape]

I have an easier thing to do than take that hydrometer reading and it's what I do for everything I do, I write it down on a piece of paper I have hanging around the neck of the carboy with whatever recipe I am using. I haven't forgotten to do really important steps, like adding potassium sorbate or adding kmeta (every couple of months) since I started doing this. @vacuumpumpman sells a carboy tag for just this purpose, if you are interested.

Same here. Discovered I'm really bad at following through from scratch paper to spreadsheet on what I've done. I use my conference name tag holders. Tuck the paper in the plastic protector and done. Every carboy has a fun, colorful lanyard sponsored by a publishing company.
