Thank you both,

I have had in in the fridge for three months and ready to bottle soon. My question is do i take it out of the fridge and bring it up to 65 degrees or so for a day ot two before priming and bottling? Then do i let it carb around 65 or should i put itrigth back in the fridge for a month? Thanks...

Thats good advice. It has only been less than 48 hours so hopefully it will be ok. I will give that a try.

Brewed a brewers best oktoberfeast this weekend. It came with lager yeast but stated it could be fermented as an ale. I intended to lager it, but the challenge i have is the initial fermentation temp is 50 to 53 degrees. My basement is about 65 degrees which is in the ale temperature region...

Thank you both. Yes I guess I could have googled this, leave it to the newbie

An anyone explain what this is, how to do it and the benefits? I have read a lot of posts about it and just don't understand the process. Thanks in advance!

Yes I did aerate very well. I will check it and take a reading. I was hesitant to open it to early.

One more question is it states let it ferment for 6-9 days which seems short. Any suggestions?

Have only done about 3 batches so still leaning. This past week I did a 5 gallon wheat extract and a 5 gallon brewers best IPA. The wheat beer was in a bucket fermentor and had very little bubbling in the air lock, maybe 12 hours and very slow. The IPA is in a glass carboy with a blow off...

This was the brewers best kit. It was in a 5 gallon carboy and I took a sample tonight to test the gravity and it does appear much lighter. So lesson learned for me. It also did not taste bad either! thanks for tolerating the newbie questions.

Thanks for the response. My other question is the color should be deep gold but it looks pretty dark brown color. Does anyone think this might be wrong or maybe something went wrong.

I am on my second batch and am making a Munich Helles. Looks darker then I expected but think it is ok. I did primary for three weeks and it has been lagering for about a month and a half t around 32 degrees. I am about to bottle, but wondering if once I bottle should I store at around...
