Headcracker - which yeast

Post by elwolfio » Fri Nov 13, 2009 1:57 pm

Hi all, i've got a woodfordes Headcracker to make over the weekend. Havn't made anything for about 12 months and havn't done this kit before.

Just wondered is the yeast supplied any good or should I use something else.

Also not sure whether I should do the fermentation in loft or spare bedroom. What would be an ideal room temp?

Many thanks

You want a temperate of about 20C. If you want to use a different yeast then S-04, US-05, Nottingham or Windsor would all work. It depends on what characteristic you're looking for.

I take it that temp is what the liquid should be and not the ambient temp?

Hi,

Yes the temperture of the wort (beer/liquid).
