my temps were at about 90 deg after i added the boil to very cold water in the primary... is this too hot to add the yeast?
well i did it anyway ( fogetting to lest it cool to 70-80 deg)......and over the past 48 hrs its def fermenting cause the airlock has been bubbling.... am i ok?
also fyi this is a True Brew american wheat kit (extract)...... it says nothing in the instructions about using a secondary ferm.... it also says after about 7 days in the primary that i can bottle.... this doesnt seem like enough time for the beer to condition.... and i would rather try to use a secondary just for the clarity and such...
i have read that wheats in genral dont need the secondary.... but it seems like everyone has thier own opinion on that... i was thinking about leaving it in the primary for about a total of 2 weeks and then the secondary for a week... then see where im at and bottle.... what do you guys think?
also after bottling the instructions say to let age for 3 weeks ... is this sufficient?
thanks so much
