Hi all,
Would love to seek your inputs on my first brew. Currently finished the boiling phase and it’s been fermenting for 3 days already.
I’m following the recipe as provided below:
https://www.brewersfriend.com/2010/08/29/german-lager-recipe-all-grain/
The problem here is that my fermentation temperature is around 21-23degrees (as I live in a tropical country), as compared to the prescribed fermentation temperature that the recipe calls for (10 degrees). While the recipe stipulates 3 weeks primary fermentation, what is your advice with respect to such a time period at such a higher temperature ( as yeast activity would be increased ). My intuition would be to reduce the fermentation time to compensate for the higher temperature ( as I read that prolonged fermentation) may introduce off-flavors to my beer.
What’s your advice? Greatly appreciated!
Additionally, any other pointers should I take note during my fermentation?
