Hi guys, first time brewer. I was going to start a topic, but, its possibly more relevant to post here.
My friend got me into brewing, i like his brew, but would like it more charcoal-ey. He suggested i give my own brew a try, so iam. After watching him theres a few things i want to know.
Am i supposed to stir my wash? He gives his a stir once a day, i have been doing the same and after 4 days my wash is only slightly bubbling now. Will be using the hydrometer this afternoon to test. My wash is sitting between 26 - 28 degrese consistantly, water temp on adding my 2.4L of dextrose to was 30.3 degrese and 7.5l exact. Its smelling pretty ripe, and all is looking to be going to plan, just a little unsure of the stirring and taking the lid on and off.
