So I completed my boil, got wort down to 72 deg, and first OG reading is 1.82, should be 1.071-1.075. The hydrometer gauge is sticking 2" out of my wort. Help please.....

oliver said:do you mean 1.082? looking at the hydrometer i use, it only goes up to 1.170. 1.820 is like, a block of sugar or something.
so, assuming you're at 1.082, you should be alright, pitch yeast, make sure you check the ABV tolerance of the yeast you're using, but you'll be alright. pitch yeast, let sit for a couple weeks.
