Morning all I've had a brew sitting for 10 days in fv at 21 degrees and have bottled it last night. It's now sitting in the dark at a constant 15 degrees C. I plan to have it there for 10 days before chilling and drinking. Does this sound right? Thanks in advance

Excellent and thanks for the advice. I'm looking forward to learning along the way, and suffering a few self brewed headaches!

Jeez 3 weeks in primary fv? Mine was only 4 days at the same temp ;-(

Thanks. Hopefully I'm ok as it tastes ok. I'll make sure it's cooler next time. How warm should the initial week of the second ferment be? Thanks again.
