I agree wholeheartedly that regulated temp is the best way to go. I’m not set up yet for that right now so the old basement floor has to do for this batch. These numbers may be interesting: I pitched my yeast at 72 degrees, sprinkled on top, two packages of S-04. That was about 1600 on April 30...

Thank you so much for your thoughts on this! I agree as to the low end of the range!! There is a lot to consider in all this!!! Best regards!!

SafeAle S-04. It is a Guinness Export Stout clone!

The instructions on the clone kit I’m brewing says that the fermentation range is 62-72F. I have two wifi thermometers..one attached to the side of the fermenter about half way up and another just hanging from a nail about 3 ft away from the fermenter at about the same level from the floor as...

Thank you!

Thank you! I’m hoping for the best! It’s great to have you folks to be able to discuss with!!!

Mississippi is hard to chill too! Thank you!!!!

I’m going to use a wort chiller so I can get temp down pretty good before adding cold water. Would you pitch in wort when temp gets below what degree and then add cold water?? Say 90 degrees? 80??

Yes, I will have same amount of water in the FV as the recipe states!! I was planning to add water to cool as the recipe suggests just didn’t know if it could be REAL cold. All good! Thanks!

This is only the second time I’ve made beer so go easy here!!! The first time, the recipe called for ALL of the water to be added to the boil. This recipe calls for only half of the water to be added for the boil and the other half to be added to cool the wort. The first time I used Crystal...

I’ve ordered a beer kit called Captain’s Ration Export Stout. It is an extract kit. Instructions call for cooling the wort to 72 degrees then pitching two packs of S-04 dry yeast into the wort. It’s an estimated 1.072 OG and 7.1 ABV beer. I’m going to chill the wort with a wort chiller but that...

Thank you for the great explanation. I’ve learned a lot!!

Thanks!! I just pulled the trigger and ordered the kit with the SafAle -04!! There is not a brew supply store within a 100 miles of me!

Thank you!!!!
