Hi guys,
I have my first kit brew in the fermentor about 3-4 days away from bottling, although i think i screwed it up by not controlling the temp (has been up and down like a yo-yo between 18-24... I basically only got the kit to save on things I'll need for AG like a hydrometer/fermentor/airlock/free bottles/bla bla bla (the beer was just an added bonus!!!)
I'm kind of skipping kit brews in general and going straight to AG brewing (I like to tinker and will learn faster this way) and my biggest concern (or decision) is which way to go in terms of 2V vs 3V...
Essentially 3V is just adding another vessel so I'm not having to use the same vessel for the HLT and Boil Kettle but is it beneficial to a home brewer like myself? Does it speed up the process that much? I want a 50L Kettle so how big should i have the HLT?
These are the questions that stump me...
Any suggestions are welcome
