Hello,
New to the forums and new to Home Brew Talk. I brewed many years ago but then joined the Marine Corps and stopped all hobbies for a time. Now back to it, but unlike riding a bike, all the equipment seems new though the procedures seem to be coming back. My first batch is a Belgian Tripel and all seems to be going well (I'm on day 6). I've prevented the urge to "look" or disturb those little yeasties from doing their job. I do have a few quick questions though (and am ready for all the sarcasim you can muster-I read many posts before asking):
1. How late is too late to go to a secondary fermenter?
2. Active fermenting, CO2 off gassing, stopped at about 72 hours, is this early?
3. Does anyone use something better than EasyClean for sterilization?
Besides that, glad to be aboard!
Looking forward to the discussions.
Semper fi,
Rip
