Hi, from New Zealand!
Iv just really started homebrewing beer, having completed 2 batches, with mixed results. I have a couple of questions please...
I just followed the instructions on the beer can kits, fermented 3-9 days, or when FG has been reached, (mine was 1010 after 5 days, so stopped there). I bottled immediately, stored at 22 degs C for a week, then left further couple weeks. Beer was drinkable.
With the current batch, iv read about secondary fermentation and transferring into another tank. Also have read about leaving the beer in the current tank after fermentation has completed. So after the 3-9 days fermentating, I could leave as is for another 1-2 weeks and it will improve?
Its summer here in NZ, and my brews have been on average 24 degs C for ales (Nut Brown/Brown "Draught"). The range is 22-26 deg, though rarely 26. Is this a MAJOR problem for ales?
Thanks all for any help/advice. I will continue browsing the forum as well for more info
