Hello,
Well, I'm going on week 4 in primary of my inaugural brew. I haven't peaked or touched it besides some gentle rocking from time to time.
This weekend I am planning to check the gravity, and if all is well, rack to a secondary for a week and add some gelatin.
It has been fermenting (US-05) in my basement at the lower end of the temperature range. Probably 58-62; I have seen the thermometer (ambient temperature) at 59 in the morning and just above 60 in the evening.
Now to my question. I have read that some people bring their primary to room temperature for the final few days of fermentation to make sure the yeast clean up as best they can. Should I do this? What are the benefits/risks? Or, is this another plastic vs glass and aluminum vs stainless question?
Thank you much!
