Homebrew Masters!
My gf bought me the Northern Brewers home starter kit about a week ago. I am hooked already and seems like I did a good job. I made the pale ale NB kit but have a question...
NB did not specify what the water temp should be when pouring and mixing the wort with regular water to get to the 5g mark? Does it matter? My tap water was pretty chilly (probably around 50F) and I cooled the wort too around 100F before mixing it with the tap water.
I have since purchased a thermometer and something to attach to my fermenter so that to know the temp when this mix occurs again.
Finally, it is fermenting in a nice quiet, dark, room temperature closet in my apt. It is bubbling and seems to be on its way! Just wanted to know thoughts and experiences with this step by some more experienced people!
Thanks! 🍻
