Good day everyone! I'm picking up this home brew http://www.weekendbrewer.com/beginnerpage.html kit this weekend withe the hopes of brewing the Bavarian Style Hefeweizen. After that I want to try some stouts and then some ales. From all the reading I've done on here, it seems THE most important thing is clean, sanitize, clean, sanitize, etc.
I keep my house b/t 76 and 80 during the summer, so will my yeast have any trouble feasting on the sugars?
Should I follow the kit instructions for time duration of fermentation or let it go longer?
I'm a little confused about the bottling bucket, and how much beer to fill the bottles with...do I need the bucket, and what's the deal with the siphon?
Gotta say, I'm super excited about this and would like to have a brew cycle going so I always have something fresh and ready to go.
Any tips for a noob would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks!
