Complete n00b here, just bought a simple kit from a local homebrew place, an English Special Bitter. I have no idea if i did *any* of this right, guess ill find out in two weeks or so. fermenting finished way faster than i thought it would have(about 2.5 days), but the gravity was in the range they said it should end at so bobs yer uncle.
anyways, couple of questions if someone can help:
how the hell do you regulate the temperature when fermenting, more exactly the cooling aspect? We dont use the A/C in my apt but it stayed about 75ish the whole time, figure this was not ideal but ok.
Anyways, i can see this turning into a very expensive hobby but one i already love. My girlfriend is already starting to moan about how i tell her i need to get way more bottles for the beer lol.
also anyone have any recommendations for what beer to make next? I was thinking fat tire as ive never had it but i read some people here saying 'oh there are 50 beers better that i would clone before fat tire' so im open to suggestions/recommendations.
thanks!
