    Revvy- thank u (again) for the info. I just got my hydrometer yesterday. I will get a reading. I was going based off visuals. Guess I'm just a little paranoid and definitely a novice. As most if not all of us on here, I'm passionate about beer and wanna make sure I'm doing it right. I'll come...

    I have not taken a gravity reading. The yeast is Safbrew T-58 dry ale yeast

    I'm going on four days and am getting no fermentation. Is that normal? Should I pitch more yeast? It's an oktoberfest btw- if it matters. Still new to this home brew game. I have the fermenter @ just below 70F- should it b colder maybe?

    Conditioning

    Hey, I'm just asking because I don't know. Sometimes things r purely preference. I've only made one batch so far so I need all the info I can get. Conditioning = better beer- got it. Lol thx But how about conditioning times/methods for different brews?

    Conditioning

    Is it necessary to condition? If so, are there different methods for different brews? My first batch was an Oktoberfest that I didn't really condition- put bottles in fridge for 2 days, it came out pretty good. I wanna go for a dry stout next n have been reading a lot about month long...

    This brings up another newb question; is a secondary ferm necessary or a preference thing?

    As I said, I am brand spanking new to this so I might have just been getting things crossed. Thx.

    I read a recipe that basically said after fermenting, bottle n let it finish off that way. I've read other things like that so I was confused/curious.

    Is it a "bad" idea to do the 2nd round of fermentation in the bottle? Is it a preference thing? I've read a lot going both ways but no explanation really.

    Brand new to brewing

    Thanx. I thought that but didn't want to risk it n make a terrible brew.

    Brand new to brewing

    Was wondering, as I see most all recipes I've viewed are for 5gal, how to cut these down for a 2gal batch w/o compromising taste n quality. Thx!

    Sweet Stout Deception Cream Stout

    Hi, I'm absolutely new to home brewing. Is there a specific cocking temp for this before fermenting?
