I'm only using 1 fermenter not two and am planning on leaving my beer in there for 3-4 weeks.
1. What is conditioning of beer? Is this letting the beer sit in the bottles for a further week before putting it in the fridge? Should I put it in the same temperature that I fermented in? 68 degrees.
2. When the fermentation period is over and I'm measuring specific gravity. If I extract some liquid and test it in a tube should I then put the beer back into the bucket or is this a no no so as not to infect brew?
3. What is the general consensus on bottling with glass bottles or plastic PET bottles or is it just personal preference.
4. I've read a lot about making a yeast starter, I just used the one that came with the kit.. Will this be OK?
Thanks!
