Hey Guys,
Very new to creating my on recipes but since the kegerator is full with 10 gallons, I've decided that I have the time to brew a big one. Below is my recipe 1.0. I'm not a hop head, but don't want a cup of folgers either. Be honest with me!
My real questions for this forum is fermentation...... What do I do?
- My first thoughts are: 14 Day Primary @ 60, 7 Day Secondary @ 60, then keg (do I carbonate?) and age 14 Days @ 50 ??
- Do I just pitch the yeast and aerate or do I need to use a starter?
- Can I brew this with my current equipment? A 4 gallon SS Pot.
Thanks!
George
