I'm brewing for the first time, Belgian white extract kit, and I'm sure I'm going to screw something up. I've been planning this for months.
I've got my 8 gallon brewpot, 6.5 gallon carboy, solid stopper, drilled stopper, hydrometer, thermometer, star san, PBW, racking cane, siphon hose, test jar and air lock...
I've got everything to convert my keggerator over to full MFL/FFL fittings, 4 cornies, enough ball locks to gas and serve from two kegs plus have a transfer line. I've bought a second 5# C02 cylinder and filled my propane tank. I've built and tested my 50' pumped immersion chiller, and modified a carboy cap with a MFL fitting for pressure racking to secondary.
How do you crack coriander? I have a DME yeast starter kit, should I attempt doing a starter my first time around?
I plan on leaving the beer in the primary for about 2 weeks, then racking over to a corny for a two week secondary fermentation, then chilling, carbing and serving in that same corny. Can someone spot check that plan?
