Hi guys,
I recently bought one of those coppertun kits and fired it up on Tuesday afternoon.
I have encountered a couple of issues.
First off, being summer and all, the temperature on the fermenter ran at 30 degrees Celsius on Wednesday afternoon.
It was still bubbling round 5am on Thursday morning but stopped after 6am (temp at 26 Celsius) and never started up again.
I tasted the brew, it is very light.
Now the question is,
1) are there still active yeast left in the drum?
2) will the brew be fine to bottle?
3) should I let it sit like that for another week or so?
4) if I do bottle it, will it carbonate??? very worried about this
5) keep the bottled beer in a fridge or outside?
I'm not to worried about this batch (seeing as it is a first try and a learning curve), but it would be nice getting something out of this batch.
On the next batch I'm thinking of placing the bin in a tub of water to help regulate the temperature, do you think this will work?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
