Golden Stag & A question...

[Glamdring]

Started off my second brew today. Golden Stag Summer Ale.

If yet to pitch the yeast as it's sitting at 27C. Reckon it's ok to go for it?

WAY too high yet! Try to wait for below 20.

The instructions said between 20 and 25. I pitched at 26. Seems to be bubbling away nicely at 21C this morning.

I wouldn't go higher than 20 myself. At higher temps, the yeast are very active but produce fusel alcohols and off flavours.

But if you can keep it at 21, it should be fine. Just in general, try to keep it as close to 20 as you can. Either way, you are making beer! :thumb:
