Hi all,
So I made my very first extract beer today and I have a couple questions about the procedure...
1) I was getting ready to battle the foam that was going to threaten a boil over, but I barely had any foam at all. Is this normal??
2) I'm using a primary and secondary fermenter. Is it essentially the same timeline for both compared to a canned beer kit? Or should I just pay more attention to my specific gravity?
This beer is also going to be the first to come from the kegerator I'm currently building, so that makes it even harder to wait for! Any other tips for extract brewing would be appreciated.
