Just brewed my first batch of beer yesterday. Used innkeeper ale recipe from northern brewer. Used what grains my local home brewer supply had that were comparable and used 1 lb of honey that i substituted for 16 oz of corn sugar that I forgot to get.
Og was .032 ish,
My question .... Do I need to stir wort at all during fermentation, like in the first day or two ?? Or just let it sit and do its thing?
I am fermenting with my pail covered with cotton sheeting secured w a large rubber and for the first few days of fermentation .. Then after like 3 days I planned on covering it with lid and airlock.....trying to give it somewhat of an open ferment during its timespan of greatest activity.
Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
