Hey all. Let me start by saying thank you to all the active members here. When i decided ( after reading for months ) to start making my own beer i found this site and have learned an overwhelming amount from all of your experience.
So i decided that for my first brew i would tackle all grain out of the box and make an american amber ale. With expectations in check, i just felt that this direction was what really interested me in brewing in the first place and therefor to just go for it.
Brew day went fairly smoothly. OG rating shows 60% efficiency. I hope in time to improve my technique but can live with these results first go.
My first question is when to transfer (apprx) into secondary? Does all krausen need to dissipate before transfer or should i rely on SG reading to drive me?
Im sure ill have more questions in the near future but just wanted to get your take on this one to start. Fermentation has been active for 1 week in sealed ale pale. Cheers and thanks in advance.
