Hello everyone!
I have a few questions if anyone could help me. I've started on my second brew now, first one being a Munton's Connoisseur's IPA that I think I brewed a little too warm as it came out okay, but perhaps a little too fruity. My mates were nice and said it had a honey like taste, but I knew I might have done it a bit wrong. Anyway, This time I let the brew cool down to about 70°, aerating it furiously and then adding the dry yeast that I rehydrated for about 20 mins. The room I kept it it has an ambient temp of about 65-67° and the brew, after a sluggish start is now happily bubbling away at around 68°.
Now my questions, the kit came with summit hops, and after reading about them I heard they may give an oniony flavor? If anyone has done this kit and noticed this? Also, as per instructions, I dry hopped after 4 days in the primary. I think it'll stop bubbling in about a another week, but will this be too long for the dry hops? I took a peek and see now that there's a dark layer on the krausen, I assume this is the dry hops? Anyway, I'm doing my best to try and keep the brew temp stable at 68°, is this still too warm?
Apologies for all these newbie questions!
