Did I read that wrong?

Hang on a minute. Yesterday I measured the OG and it read 1052. That can't be right surely? It says here in the little Coopers instruction booklet that Microbrew worts tend to have an OG of between 1021 and 1040 so mine seems rather high. Ah well, maybe I read it wrong. Maybe it was 1042? It was my first time with a hydrometer after all. No matter. I'll measure it everyday to see what's happening with the fermentation. Today's SG reading is 1032.
