I was out of town over the last couple of days and on my way back home I stopped into a LHBS to see if there selection differed from my home town. The Selection wasn't too different but a Kit was on Sale ....WOOHOO!!
Anyway, the Kit I purchased is a Festa Brew Red Ale. Basically it is a 23 Litre full wort kit, where you just have to added the yeast....I know, Boring.........
Talking to the owner he mentioned that I should not leave the brew in the secondary for more than a week or I would ruin it. That sounds a bit nuts to be since I've left other brews in the secondary for a couple of months without problems. The kit just mentions "more than 2 days"
Second, the instructions in the kit, mention filtering the beer using a cartridge or pad kit (much like a wine filtering unit i assume). Has anyone had any experience or thoughts on this. I've quickly search on filtering but the topic is.......Shall we say...Up in the air!!
Any help???
Thanks
