I pitched my S04 yeast when the wort was still about 30-35 C, I soon after realized this was not a good idea and immediately placed the carboy in a water bath, wrapped a wet towel around it and turned on the fan right next to it. Within a half hour it had dropped to the 25-30 C range and three...

I put a few bottles of my three week old beer in the fridge but they're not quite done yet, will they still condition properly if I bring them back up to room temperature?

Hi all, I was thinking about doing Cooper's Real Ale kit as I've heard good things about it and I'm also a beginner. Just curious as to what kind of yeast I should use since the yeast that's included is apparently not that good. I was also wondering if anyone has tried this kit and could...

Just curious if anyone's tried brewing an ale under 18 degrees C, my first homebrew seemed to come out fine at about 15-16 degrees even though ive only been told that the yeast wont function properly, is fermenting at room temperature more of a speed thing?

First off, my ale has been fermenting for about two weeks at 16 Degrees Celsius in a plastic pail, loosely covered by the lid, is it likely infected? Second, I'm not sure if I should transfer my beer to another container as to not disturb the trub when I mix the priming sugar, is it worth the...

I started my first brew a week ago (cooper's lager) and don't know what to do now. My brew has been in a plastic pail this whole time with the lid on but not sealed to allow gas escape. Instructions from my homebrew supplier say trasfer to secondary in the glass carboy after 3-4 days but there...
