I have 2 bottles of Zombie Dust bottle date of 9/30/15. Looking to trade for 2 Pliny or Heady
Edit: I have made a trade for Pliney. I do have 2 other bottles of ZD that I would trade for Heady
Besides the obvious answer of anywhere... I wonder where everyone's favorite place to take several homebrews and enjoy. For me, during the summer, it's at the sandbar on the the lake I grew up at. Post a picture if you want

The correct answer is yes. But in all honesty, I didn't start worrying about my ferment temps until I was several brews in. You can start to get banana like flavors and harsh alcohol taste if you let the temps get out of control. Aim for the ambient temp where your fermenter is located...
It depends on the yeast you have. Check the package or check online for the optimal temp range. When active fermentation is happening, the reaction creates a lot of exothermic heat, and the fermenter can be 7-10 degrees warmer than the ambient temp.
If you want to try and bring the temp down...
I have a trippel that completed fermentation about 4 weeks ago and has been bulk aging since. I don't have lots of carboys and want to get opinions on the pros and cons of bottling after only 4 weeks of bulk aging. I plan on aging at least 6 months whether in the carboy or bottle.

I went with the 2565 with a starter. Very active fermentation at 59-60 F at about 12 hours. As soon as gravity stabilizes, I plan on racking to secondary and lagering until it clears. Thanks for the help

I am planning a Kolsch to brew this weekend, and I am looking for opinions on which is better for the style: Wyeast 2565, White Labs WLP029, or other option I have not thought of.
Thanks

I have been all grain brewing for a while, and I want to improve my process. One area I am working on is understanding my water profile. I checked our city's water report, but I have seen a lot of conflicting data on the web regarding my area. I have been looking at the water testing kits...
