for now on ill just reduce temps by around 5-10 deg lower and that should put me were i need to be,as far as the krausen goes when should it be skimmed off the wort

so my stick on fermentor is around 10 deg cooler than my actual wort?and i mostly use buckets so i guess a blow off tube wont work

65-67

so how do you go about getting a actual temp reading?

stick on fermometor..sticks on side of fermenting bucket

ive been using muntons and safale us-50

I pitched yeast over 80deg on just the one batch, the rest i pitched around 75deg,and fermented all of them around 66-67deg,also I'm not going by room temp I'm going by my stick on fermometors,.....thanks again

around a month between primary and secondary for both and about 65 to 67 deg,3 weeks in bottle

Ive made 25 gallons of homebrew so far (midwest supplies) my first was autamn amber ale,drank 2 and woke up with headache..my second is aussie light ale,drank 2 and had a headache within 1 hour,primary temps around 67deg for both..pitched yeast with aussie ale at 75 deg and amber a little over...

LOL thats frickin awesome

ok thats what ill do then..

ok i get it,clean than sanitize..,can i clean,let dry,and than sanitize a few days later when ready to brew or bottle?

Wolud it not be aesier to clean and sanitize in one shot? or is that method not to be trusted...lol thanks agian yooper

well that wolud be worth a try for sure

(carlson- easy clean) is 10.00 cheaper than (one step)...is there enough difference in the two to spend onother 10.00 for the one step....both 5lb bucket,i love using something that requires no rinsing but will the easy clean leave a bleach film in my beer bottles...thanks allot
