Sweet. Read all the stickys, and ferment COOL. Low 60's IN THE BEER is best. Mid 60's IN THE BEER is OK. Beer temps can be up to 10F warmer than the room. Have fun and good luck!
Thanks for the advice! I will be sure to do that. Brewing went really well.
When should I expect some airlock activity? I just put the lid on my primary fermenter last night at about 5pm.
Thanks everyone. She's bubbling like crazy today at noon. Had to move the fermenter to a cooler spot because our 55 degree January days here in SW MN are making the basement almost too warm! But I think the yeast are doing their job now!
Here's another question: Thinking about racking to secondary fermenter in a week or two. Any reason why I should or shouldn't? Recipe doesn't say I need to, but I've got the equipment.
