This is my first time brewing. I have been reading about and watching videos on home brewing for the past few weeks. On Saturday I attended an intro to brewing class at the Northern Brewer (lucky to have one in the neighborhood). I picked up the essential brewing starter kit with the Caribou...
I plan on brewing my first batch on Wednesday (Caribou Slobber). I will be using WYEAST 1332, which is now refrigerated. Should I leave it warm to room temp before activating or activate it and leave it longer before pitching?
TIA, Joe
I would like to do a yeast starter using 2 cups water and 1/2 cup DME. Is using a 750ml wine bottle too small for this? I am new to the home brewing hobby.
TIA for advise. Joe
