    High fermentation temperature for Wyeast 1318

    THE impact won't be favorable but if you let it Finnish and give it a dry hop it might mellow out. You have nothing to lose by letting the process Finnish and it might be decent!

    Greenlee ruined my brew pot, looking at new kettles

    I would see if the wife will allow you to buy a burner and a pot so you can brew with ease. Now if you think that 10 gallon batches is the future then definitely buy a 20 gallon pot. !

    smooth strong blonde

    It is not a hot alcohol, I had brews a couple of years ago that I lost control of in fermentation and what I taste is not that. I generally add a couple of lbs of pale and 2 more oz of crystal to the grain bill, I have played with crystal 40 and came up with a malt liquor substitute lol. I have...

    Blonde ale no flavor

    If the goal is a maltier blonde, I would go with 8lbs two row,1.25 Munich 10 and keep the crystal 40 as it will bring malt flavor also. I would also change the hop schedule to .5 at 60 and then split the rest at 15 and one minute. Blondes should be lightly hopped. A blonde is a light beer in...

    Am I shorting fermentation time?

    Your beer will likely improve if you do 2 weeks in the primary and then cold crash. If you are brewing Ipas and kegging then the difference will be small but if you are doing a dark beer and or something over 1.060 in starting gravity then you are more likely to notice a difference.:D
