Maris Otter it is! Thanks

So i wanna do a smash ipa. One of my favorite beers is a smash with pilsner and mosaic (Yellow Rose). I'm a beginner, and have had some alcohol heat in my first two brews ( i think it's bc i fermented too warm, but who knows?) But i now have a mini fridge with an STC1000 and want to have a...

Thanks for the tips! Guess i shouldve said, i usually use US-05

Hey all, I just hooked up my STC-1000. What would be an ideal temp in my mini fridge? Somewhere around 60 degrees during vigorous fermentation? Maybe bump it up 5 days in? Thanks!

did you guys solder the wires? is it necessary?

Hi all, new homebrewer here. My second beer, (first all grain) is an IPA. I used Citra and Mosaic hops, and dry hopped for 5 days. I wasn't expecting it to smell like the best of the best, but also wasn't expecting it to be almost devoid if any aroma at all! Thoughts?
