safale us-05 dry ale yeast

I can move it to the basement where it's not temerature controlled & much cooler, I was just worried that it might get too cold & the yeast will slow down. Would it be ok to move it downstairs right now & tomorrow bring it back up? or would moving it too much after fermentation have taken...

It's 80 degrees right now in Baltimore, it's supposed to dip back down to 60 tonight, and top out at 60 for the next 5 days. I'm fermenting in the coldest room of my house. My house thermostat reads 70 & the temp on the carboy reads 72-73. It's bubbling like crazy (probably every second). I'm in...

I'm aware of the "AT LEAST 3 weeks in the bottle" rule. I just thought that having one now would give me a glimps of what it would taste like in the future. And "hot" is a very good word to describe it, I'll have to remember that one. It fermented, & are stored in the bottle, in a room that...

Well that is good to know. I have a room in my house that's last in the baseboard heat loop & I've been fermenting in there cause it's in the mid 60s. And if it starts getting too warm in there, I can move it in the basement cause it's not heated down there. Thanks guys for the tips, any more...

My bad, I picked up Centennial to dry hop with

For the secondary? Why?...I have a 6.5gal primary

My buddy & I brewed our 1st beer together about 4 weeks ago (Sam Calagione's A-Z Brown Ale, from his book extreme brewing). For our 2nd choice we wanted to do something that was more to our liking (IIPA) . When I went to my LHBS, I told the dude what we were after & he talked me into getting a...
