Looking good!
I'd ditch the hydrometer and get a refractometer ($20 on ebay). It's much more accurate. |

Great start! I agree get yourself a refractometer, hydrometers are never accurate from my experience

IME Jebao pumps are hit or miss. Sometimes you get a good one, sometimes you don't. As a return pump, if it were me, I would have a backup pump on hand just in case.
