Hi everyone,
I am about to start my first brew, the Brewer's Best Oatmeal Stout extract kit.
I'm excited to start brewing, but in my excitement I think I've read way too much information on these forums for my newbie brain to assimilate. It has left me with a couple of questions that I hope those of you with more experience will not mind answering.
The first question I have is about fermentation and temperature. My basement hangs temp. wise around 62-65 degrees pretty consistently. Is that too low a temp. for the initial 3-5 days of fermentation? After which I plan to move the fermenter to an upstairs closet that is a pretty constant 70 degrees.
The yeast is what was supplied with the kit, Danstar Windsor British-Style beer yeast if that has any bearing...
Am I overthinking the whole thing?
