I have a kit called "Kama Citra Session IPA," with Safale US-05 dry yeast. First question. I've assembled an aquarium pump with aeration wand, but the instructions say to "seal the fermentor and rock back and forth to splash for a few minutes" to aerate wort. Should I do that or use my aquarium pump? If I use my aquarium pump, how long should I aerate?
Also, the instructions say to "place the fermentor in a warm, dark, quiet spot for fermentation." I have no idea what they mean by "warm." I built a small refrigerator fermentation chamber with a controller so I can ferment at any temp I want. What temperature would be best?
Many thanks for your input.
Cheers!
