Hi all.
I am racking my first ever brew tomorrow and want to leap straight into my 2nd using some of the things I have picked up through the forums.
I want to make sure there is nothing glaringly wrong with what I am going to do as well as ask a few questions...
Ok... using Morgans Pilsener kit with 1kg lme, 20g saaz hop pellets, 200g Crystal Grain (cracked), packet of safale 04.
I just want to check the method...
soak grains in sack in 2L of just boiled water for 15-20 minutes - take out bag and lme dissolve and boil for 15 minutes or so. Off heat and add saaz pellets - stir through and add to fermenter. Top up fermenter to cold water - add yeast. Will rack into 2nd ferment after primary has finished.
Can I please ask for advise on both the best starting temp (is that pitching temp?) and also best temperature to ferment at?? I have read that the temps given in the kits are over what most recommend. Also what is the best temp for secondary brew?
Also any comments on the brew itself - whether it is likely to be good, bad or downright ugly
Thanks all.
Yours in addiction :chug:
