I'm a newbie from Minnesota. I've been wanting to brew for a long time now and finally got started. I have an APA in the primary, and it's a relief to see bubbles in the airlock. I'm just hoping to learn a thing or two here.
I'm using a secondary because: I'm new to this so ask I read the recipe/instructions on the kit they said a secondary fermenter will help clear the beer up (of sediment I assume) and help create a "purer" flavor.
So long story short, I really don't know. Just following instructions. Is there a drawback I should be aware of?
Yeah Minneasota representing! Minneapolis here.
Don't worry about the alcohol smell now, let sit and hang out for a bit. If it has a burning alcohol taste when your bottling then you have more of a problem likely due to fermenting at too high of a temperature. But in the meantime try to forget about it until bottling time.
