Right! My first wash seems,to all intents and purposes, visually at least, to have practically stopped working. There are only the occasional bubble breaking the surface, and the wash itself is really clear, as you can see.

However, according to my hydrometer, the sg is at 1020, which seems very high for a finished wash.
I only took that reading last night, so I know I need at least another 2-3 days at thee same sg before I can be certain it is finished. But because of the virtual cessation of activity, I'm not filled with a great deal of joy. :(
Any thoughts, guys?
