newbie brewbie
Hello everyone,
I am a total brewb (brewing newb ââ¬â just made that up). I recently introduced myself in the introductory section. I was given a Young's Saison kit by my mother in law and went and bought a Kilner vessel kit (simply because I had some Argos vouchers and it was they happened to stock one).
I've got a day off today so thought I'd get the ball rolling.
I have a couple of questions straight off the bat having read the Young's instructions...
1) Airlock... my Kilner vessel didn't come with one and has no hole in the lid, though one could easily be made. The instructions call for an airlock to be fitted and then filled with sterile water. It then advises monitoring the frequency of airlock bubbles to determine the maturity of the beer... do I need to buy and airlock and wait until I have it to start? Do I need one at all? If not do I make a hole or can the Co2 get out itself?
2) Temperature... I've been monitoring the temperature in various parts of my house the last week with a digi thermometer... almost nowhere is higher than 20 degrees C and saison calls for 24ââ¬â32... how do people do this??
Clarity would be very much appreciated.
