Brewferm Lager yeast. SG is 1.052.

I have a Munich Helles from Brewers Best that is in the fermenter. It has a yeast that is supposed to work fine at ale temps. The question I have is that I have my fermenting temp at 62. This is right between the ale and lager temps. Is it ok to leave it as is or should I try to warm it up a bit...

5 gal of Munich Helles just went in fermenter. Total 1255.5

Thanks. Yes it is a partial boil. I did add a three cups of water to adjust a little for evaporation though. Will still top off after boil.

I added my LME an started my boil. Stupid me forgot to add the buttering hops and the inititial boil right after adding the LME. I boiled for about 20 min before I realized. Should I start my boil time over when I added the hops?

Do you add the gelatin at the same time that you would add the Irish moss?

Stupid spell check. I meant to say yeast. I am doing an extract brew and thought I should take the PH right before I pitch the yeast.

Which one of these I better to use? I am planning on using the Irish moss.

I am in the process of brewing a Munich Helles. When should I check the PH of the wort? Right before I add the test?

So can you buy partial mash kits or do you just have buy all your ingredients separately?

Can someone explain partial mash? Is this the kits that have the grains that you steep first before adding your malt or is it something different.

Thanks. I have a propane burner to boil with. Should be fine to boil more water. Forgot about the extra time needed to cool. I guess I will experiment and what works best.

So in the direction for my Brewers Best kit it says to boil 3 gallons of water for the wort. My question is since I have a 30 quart pot can I boil more water for the wort so that I have less water to add at the end before fermenting?

I got a rubber maid bin that will fit the longer tools. Like the siphon. I also have a smaller bin inside that can hold the more delicate items like thermometer and hydrometer. The large Rubbermaid bin doubles as a sanitizing station during brewing. I can lay everything in it and totally coat...

Speaking of cold break. How fast is fast enough. I know that I you can do it instantaneously that is the best. But mine has been about 20 to 30 minutes. Is that good enough for now? I use the ice bath in a sink

So what temperature should you be conditioning bottles at?

Only thing I used was the spices that came with the kit.

I just read that if you move to a secondary then it would help to clarify the beer. Not that it matters to me but just thought i would try and keep my beer as clear as I can get it.

I let the primary go for two weeks and a secondary for another week.

Well being new to this I was just wondering what was going in. I guess I should add on piece of info that I forgot. When I was moving the wort from the boil kettle to the fermenter I, for some reason it looked like it was picking up a lot if the hops so I ran it through a strainer. Just got...
