Hey guys
well as said above . yesterday i completed my 1st day of brewing. i used a home brew kit supplied from my local brew shop.
My big question and worry is that it was quite hot yesterday. i had to brew on sunday as its the only day i had time.
so i added 3 leters of boiling water into the fermenter with the can off malt. added in sugars hops then toped the fementer up to 21 liters. at this time i checked the temp and it was sitting at around 30 degrees i tried allot to get it down as i was looking for around 21 degrees. but after mucking around with ice wet towles fans. etc. i still coudnt get it below maybey 28 degrees. ( my thermometer was a stick on strip one that changes the color up a chart. and it was changing abour 3 temp readings at ounce. be nice if someone knows how to use these could tell me..).
so i left it in the closset. and went to the Mrs, i got home this morning to see a reading of around 26-28. but it was defently bubbleing away.
Can someone assure me that the brew will be ok ? i was thinking that the temp was only really important becuase thats what the yeast like ?? so if im gettin bubbles the yeast is working and everything will be ok ?
Cheers guys thanks in advance.
