Hi everybody
Id love a quick answer for the time being but also a link to other discussions people may be aware of that might go in to more detail.
Heres the story so far...
Generaly i do my little "biab" in 4 to 8 liter batches. This weekend though i got adventurous and did a 23l (it took 3 brews as i only have a 10l stock pot, 12 bloomin hours it took me!!)
Today the yeast really kicked in. The wondeful glug glug of the bucket, the lovely, though slightly stronger than a 4l, smell of fermentation. Two of the many joys of this brew malarky.
Mrs Wife has other ideas. Her being Pregnant she get the BotD. "Urgh whats that smell" she said. Long story short i have had to move the bucket to to workshop which is 11/12°C. i'm gussing it will take longer but is that an acceptable temperature. Its just a basic ale recipe with a wilko ale yeast.
So for me, and other noobs like me reading, can someone give us a brief, with links to detailed... Or in fact go full hog here... Details on te effects of temperature, how low is too low & inverse.
Merci
