Another first time brewer checking in.
Started a Crooked Tree IPA Clone Recipe Kit From Adventures in Home brewing on Monday. It's a partial extract recipe that is not listed on their website.
I boiled in on the stove and had a hard time keeping a good rolling boil going. Also, I was overly concerned with cooling and ended up at about 60 degrees when pitching the yeast. I also didn't use a yeast starter like some recommend with liquid yeasts.
But I had bubbles within 10 hours so I think all is well. Now on day 4 the bubbling seems to have peaked and slowed slightly. Still going at a rate of one ever 2 seconds.
The plan is to transfer to a carboy sometime next week and add the dry hops. Then it will get bottled, as I have lots of bottles but no kegging equipment.
I guess I don't actually have any questions, but welcome any advice anyone is willing to give a first timer.
