OK so I made a cyser last week and I thought it was fermenting along because there were bubbles in the airlock and on the surface of the liquid. In addition, it foamed a lot when I mixed it.
The problem is that when I tried to take my hydrometer reading, I ran into trouble. Initially the hydrometer is rather low in the liquid, reading roughly 1.065 only 5 days after the pitching of the yeast, which I thought seemed a bit fast because the bubbles weren't coming out that vigorously. But after this initial reading, the hydrometer rises for about a minute until it gets back to about 1.120. So I am not sure which reading to believe.
The process and notes thus far are in the brewlog, here is the link to it.
