I just checked my fermenter by tapping off a small bit into my holder that
came with the specific gravity hydrometer. I placed the hydrometer into
the beer and it went straight to the bottom, not really giving me any real
reading.

My fermenter has never bubbled once yet out the air lock. The
temp of the brw in th fermentor has been consistently around 20^C, and a
black plastic bag over it to block out light.

This brew is Munsons Bock, and has been fermenting for 6 days now. The
build up foam that was on top of the vat has pretty much left. I tasted
the brew that I tapped off for the hydrometer cehck and it smelled and
tasted like very weak and flat beer.

Also, when I tapped off the brew to check, it was super foamy and took a
short bit to settle, but still had a small amount of remaining head. The
way this first time novice with his 1st use of the new Coopers Home
Micro-brew kit, was pretty much by their book/video:

Boil 2 liters of water, add the can of malt, add brewers sugar, stir till
disolved, toss in fermenter, fill up with water to 23L mark, stir, add
yeast (once at a certai temp range, I forget what, but I did wait for
cooling), seal the top of fermenter, add air lock, check in 4 - 6 days. I
did steralize everything, and I used Ozarka spring Water.

Ok, what all am I or have I done wrong? Please advise. I sure hope I can
salvage this batch.

Thanks, Basil
