Guys,
I plan on brewing the 5g extract Oktoberfest from Northern brewer either tomorrow or Monday. I have a few questions before I do.
1) The directions fro NB say for primary fermentation to leave it in a dark, cold area but don’t specify a temperature. Should I leave it in my basement (usually 68-72 degrees) for primary, or should I put it in my temperature controlled fermenting chamber, which is a full-size fridge with a heat wrap controlled by an inkbird. If so, what temp should I keep for primary fermentation? the directions say to keep the temp for secondary at 35-40, which wont be a problem.
2) It says ready in 3 months, with 2 weeks primary, 2 months secondary, 2 weeks bottle conditioning. May be a ridiculous question, but if I keg, that last 2 weeks turns into a realistic 3 days, correct?
Thanks
