WEll just had a taste of my second brew lessons learned from the first this batch had a nice balanced flavor the heavy yeast flavor in the first brew isn't there and that's from temp control ahhh looking forward to this one
Why wait untill your fermentation has stopped to change to the secondary your risking oxygen if the yeast is still active it will enjoy the extra oxygen
If in doubt take a beer to your home brew shop and get them to try it .my lager got a bit hot which changed the flavor still good to drink just the taste isn't too good
My beer carbonated in a week I noticed visually when I took a few bottles to work to trade with other home brewers it foamed in the bottle like a shaken coke I cracked open a bottle and it tasted horrid
Just brewed a lager myself bottled it a week ago and just cracked open a bottle tastes like vegemite it was horrible I should of waited I'm not opening another one for two more weeks
