OK....attempted my first home brew yesterday and I'm not so good with instuctions so I think I may of messed things up.
First...When cooling the wort I put in a gallon of cold water and then topped the last four gallons with room temp water....was at about 78 degrees when I put the yeast in.
Second...I didn't hydrate the yeast. What do you gusy think?
I'm using tte Muntons IPA kit with the two cans. I added the 1kg of sugar to the wort and first gallon of water to get the extra ABV as per the instructions but 1kg is alot of sugar, right?
AFter I bottle, it says to let it sit for two days in a warm place and then move to a cool place....how cool of a place do I need to use? Refrigerator cool?...or under the house crawlspace cool? THX
