Brewing a Brown Ale right now with 1332 northwest. Its an all grain batch.
1) should i add yeast nutrient? i dont have my local water information, but since its an all grain batch, and i dont have many adjuncts, there should be plenty of FAN. Would adding yeast nutrient help/hurt? If it helps, how much do i add for a 5 gallon batch and at what stage?
2) i dont have a working chiller at the moment. Hours spent getting the wrong size copper and fittings has slowed my DIY project, and i dont have one. I can do an ice bath, or let it sit out over night, and cool. Is there a problem letting it just cool over night?
