So I brewed up a batch of Brewer's Best American Light seven days ago. I re-hydrated the yeast before pitching and the fermentation took off with a vengeance. My primary has been in a dark corner of my basement and the temp today is 72f on the carboy thermometer. Is this too high a temp? There still is a lot of activity inside the primary. White globs of stuff are rising and falling in the wort. Is this normal?
When should I rack this to a secondary? My OG was 1.041 and was exactly where the directions said it should be. I haven't taken another gravity measurement since it is looks like it is still going crazy inside.
This is my second batch of extract brew. The first one I did was an IPA that has been bottled but has at least another week to age before I can sample it. I am planning on only refrigerating one bottle to sample so I don't ruin the whole batch if it isn't ready.
Cheers!
