Yeah thanks so much

Some advice would be greatly appreciated for this novice brewer (2 completed brew days) Thinking I should get a bag of base malt or so and then some more specialty malts. Will be looking at brewing Pale Ales/Amber Ales My thoughts were going to be: Base bag full (TF Golden Promise seems...

Follow up after checking my second brew which I did on Sunday. First off I mashed at a lower more appropriate temperature, more like 65-67 rather than 69. Second got a better rolling "just" boil happening where I didn't last time. Thirdly I airated my wort before pitching yeast with a stick...

Having just bottled my first batch I have wrapped my heat belt around a empty slab carton filled with my brew bottles. This is also insulated with towels, with my temp controller keeping it around 20. Is this necessary or just dangerous? Temp I imagine will drop down below 10 degrees over night...

Do I just go ahead an bottle it, no increased risk of bottle explosion or is it just not much I can do now?

Also I could never get a perfect rolling boil, could bring it up to a consistent 97/98 degrees but just not a rolling boil

Thanks for the reply much appreciated in a Saturday afternoon

Mash temp was 69 degrees For an hour Yeast Safale US-05 About 9-10g in 15L Was stored in fridge and poured over wort BB 07/18 Oxegenating was just pouring from mash tun into Fermenter from height. Note fermentation began at 29 degrees by accident as it's my first brew and I forgot I had a temp...
