Everything up to getting thought the boil is very simple, going to make my second batch here soon, I am still iffy on my first batch, but I am just going to leave it alone and hope for the best!
I have 3 questions questions..
1) I just use the stir like mad method for aeration, do I add the yeast before or after doing this, if after I just dump the yeast of top of several inches the foam?
2) For you general ales how do I know what a good temp is, seems like everywhere I looks its a different answer, some day 70+, some say 65-70 and some say it works well for them at 60-65?? My house is generally in the 65-70 range, never going outside of that range unless in a head wave in the summer then it might creep up into the mid 70s inside the house.
3) Seems like the new thing is just leaving in a primary until complete then bottole/keg, what do I do in the case of dry hopping?? I read dry hopping in the primary can mess up the beer.
I think thats it for now, I am sure I will have many more in the future haha
