    Insignia™ - 7 Cu. Ft. Upright Freezer

    Want to hypothesize if my beer will be decent?

    Hello - anyone want to chime in on what I might expect on flavor? I am planning to brew the same recipe (fixing the volume and chilling issue) and looking forward to comparing. Also... I had intended to pitch on top of my yeast cake and am reconsidering that now based on pitching temp...

    Okay to use a secondary?

    I would like to brew today and I only have one primary fermenter. It would be very possible for me to primary in a corny keg but do not like to, as it doesn't have the headspace. This is my sixth batch with beer; I do not much experience. Am not afraid to make mistakes but do not want to...
