You can let it ride in the lbk for a month or so if your not sure...hydrometer can tell if it's done fermenting. That and mb light beer kit on the thin side..but it's beer.

No just open her up throw em in there..i brew mr beer batch sizes...if u use a hop bag just sanitize it..

Congrats...yea usually the kicked up beers work great for me...trouble getting the lighter beers to come around.

Ok thx...I'll keep trying them over the next couple of months see how they turn out.

I made a dogfish 60min clone...Strange I had bottled it on 4/3...I had one last week only in fridge a couple hrs..it was awesome...I had one yesterday seems flavor diminished slightly...does beer go thru different changes at different times? Dogfish Head Inspired DIPA (Mr. Beer-sized batch)...

Congrats on ur first brew...IPAs seem for me to be ready quicker...blonde ales seem longer because the ops tend to hide off flavors..I'm still waiting for my green taste to go away after 1 month conditioning.. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Can I let go in the mid 70's after say 5 days?

I'm usually in the 60's first few days how hight can I let stouts IPAs ales go up to afterwards?

It's just kinda tough keeping temp consistent...I'm ranging 59-67..cooler is in my garage past couple days garage temp goes up to 74 then down in the 60's..right now it's cooler out my temps bout 62...if this recipe fails hopped up blonde...might stick to stouts IPAs they can hide off flavors.

I think they are fresh..I get my recipes from island brewing..it's a new homebrew store guys on mr beer fans started. ..actually I think the water I have is on the harder side..maybe I need to stick to darker and Ipa style of beers which I like..just wanted a decent light beer..I'll give it z...
