I dont want to. Its the ambient temperature without my cooling device. Its hot this year and the room temperature is at the ranges I quoted. Thats why I was wondering if after the primary it would negatively affect my beer. Is it possible it could lead to rpemature autolysis?

Do you have any advice on the use of gypsum or raising the temperature of the primary fermenter to 75-77 degrees after the primary fermentation is over? it being hotter this year the temperature is resting about there naturally but I'm using a macguyver type method to cool my carboy through the...

Your advice has been invaluable thank you south you put me very much at ease.ill be sure to post my results.

Thank you for the advice. Have any tips about secondary fermentation? I was just going to do a long primary but now with a lower flocculating yeast I'm afraid I won't get decent clarity.

Sorry the message was cut off thanks for the post boil advce

I'm not brewing today I can always get an ounce of simcoe or something else but more galaxy. Maybe cascade. Also should I be chilling during post boil or just steeping with cover on?

The post boil hops should I not be chilling during that period also the late addition of the warrior... Is warrior good enough for flavor or aroma to be worth using that way?

Learning so much thank you. I'm feeling much more confident about my procedure and ingredients.

135 ibu really? You think the brew can handle that? Also when do I add the second addition of malt extract.

Theoretically I should lower the amount of malt extract I use I'd I pump the two row to 20 percent right? Also how will doing a full volume boil affect my product?

I'm making an imperial ipa with projected Abv of 8.7. Should I be concerned about the yeast dropping out before reaching that Abv.

The us05 was in case the fermentation halted prematurely

I was using the English ale for its flavor profile and doing a starter to get roughly 250 billion cells. I should be able to do a full volume boil

You can find my recipe on hop like. It's called dulcinea 2012. I'm not sure I'm allowed to post links.

It's only 2.5 lb so I think I'm pretty good

I'm making a double ipa. OG is 1.084 the ibu's are 94 and the final gravity is calculated at 1.020. That seems way too high. I was thinking about mashing at 145 and adding a lb of sugar to raise the abc and lower the final gravity. Is this a good way to approach this issue. I'm looking for...

Thank you so much your info is invaluable.

It's an ale. Imperial ipa to be precise.

Inside its roughly 72-77 degrees depending on where in the house. I looked online and am employing a towel-bath-fan technique to cool the carboy appropriately but this cant go on for 3 weeks to a month. Will it adversely affect my beer if I just use this technique for cooling during the primary...
