Evening all!
First post in here - please forgive me if this has been written elsewhere, but can't find anything so far.
I'm a complete newbie, but really keen to get started - have bought myself an equipment starter kit and Youngs New World Saison for my first brew and have a couple of questions for you seasoned Brewers:
- Bottling length: I have read various reports on how long this should be in the bottle for before being consumed, some 2 weeks and some 6-8 weeks. What's everyone's experience of this?
- Temperature: how do you all maintain temperature for your brews? I don't really want to leave the heating on all day for weeks as I'm out of the house at least 12 hours a day every weekday. Any tips? Have also seen a couple of pieces that maybe temperature isn't the biggest thing to worry about?
- Any special advice or tips for either this brew or someone who is just starting out with all the basics?
Thank you all for your help!
Sam.
