thanks..it is actually starting to ferment. Just out of curiosity what are those different flavors produced with the varying fermentation temps of ale yeast?

brewed a partial mash cascadian dark ale yesterday and pitched the yeast (WL california ale) at 58 degrees due to forgetting to look at the temp when I poured the cooled wort into the water in the fermenter. It's now in the 64 degree range which is appropriate for ale fermentation. Will...

I brewed an American IPA last Sat and, as usual, I'm planning on racking to secondary tonight. I did the primary in a bucket and when I took a peak at the beer, there was a krauzen on top. The airlock has stopped for 2 days now. Wondering if it would be alright to rack to secondary even with...

Brewed my first partial mash oatmeal stout yesterday morning and am going through primary in a 6 gal bucket with hole drilled for airlock for the first time instead of glass carboy due to using that for secondary. Everything went well with brewing..pitched yeast a 79 deg OG was 1.061 which was...
