Alright I will try and make this short and sweet. I have a couple questions regarding my first AG brew, I used this recipe.
Questions I have about all grain brewing?
1) Does the temperature of the initial water (strike) matter when adding the Campden or pH stablizer to it?
1.2) Is there a specific temperature the sparge water has to be at?
2) What should I do with the spent grains I have in my MLT?
3) What should I do with the used hops? Can either the grains or hops be used as compost?
4) How long should I let my fermenting beer/wort stay in the primary, and do I have to transfer to a secondary?
5) I plan on kegging my beer, does anyone have a helpful video about kegging beer?
I made a short write up of my brew here
cheers
