So I am a first time home brewer. My wife got me a kit 7 years ago and now under quarantine, I figured I would try to make this batch. I already know this isn't going to taste great, but I wanted the experience. So, I realize on Brew day my yeast is well dead.
I have no Brew shops near me and just grab Fleischman Instant Yeast.
Of my 5 gallons to start, I bottles 24 12oz bottles after 6 days due to lack of activity in primary fermenter. I made a pear slurry to add to the remaining 2.75 gallons for secondary fermentation.
I plan on refrigerating after about 2 weeks in bottle and after that, plan on bottling my other half of my split batch.
Sorry, long way to ask about timeframe of Baker's yeast vs. Ale yeast at about 70° F.
Also, OG before pitch was 1,055. Finished at bottling at 1,020. Just in case that matters.
Thank you.
