i thought i would make a lighter beer for my kids since they do not appreaciate my more flavorful browns& ipa "s that i like . so
sunday i brewed up 8 gal of a pale ale
10 lb 2-row
2 lb crystal malt #40
1 lb carapils
1.5 oz liberty
1.75 oz cascade
O.G-1.045
i first noticed fermentation activity 2.5 hours after pitching yeast ,i used COOPERS dry yeast, it was the first time i have used this. store was out of safale 05. 24 hours later visible fermentation had stopped so Tuesday night i took a hydrometer reading i was about 1.010 its Wednesday morning i take another reading and it reads the same this is my fastest fermentation ever ( the samples taste like what i was hoping for) is it the coopers yeast work that well? my fementor is in enclosed space under the stairs and stays about 70* (sorry this should have been under fermentation @yeast heading)
