Eagles Feather Brew House - First Extract Brewing 2019-09-01

[Chek]

Hi All,

Thanks to everyone who has posted in the past. I have had a lot of fun learning from all y'alls posts.

I certainly enjoy good beer, and now I will try to create my own.

But first I need to learn some basics...

Aside from reading my start in learning is the 3 kits I mixed up.

Ingredients:
3 cans Morgan's Canadian Red Ale
3 x 1.5 kg bags LME
3 x packs Fermentis Safale US-05
Local water, called the town office and made sure there was no chloramines...

Please share your thoughts on anything about this brew.

I picked the yeast to match the temperature in my basement.

I mixed 3 batches so I can fill my 58.9l keg

Fermenting seems to be going well it has been 3 days so far.

The smell isn't bad at all, it's not stinking up my whole basement.

I intend to move to secondary fermenters, however I am also thinking I will put it all in the keg for secondary fermentation and let it sit for 3 weeks.

Any thoughts?

Any suggestions?

My only suggestion would be not to use a secondary. You only risk oxidation and contaminaton and gain basically nothing.
Most people (not all ofcourse) would only use seconday fermentation if fruits or similar would be added after primary fermentation.
