Leaving a loose lid helps prevent the beer from over fermenting out of the bucket.Īdding some oxygen 12 hours after pitching the yeast with a sanitized spoon or paddle can help the yeast reproduce and finish fermentation. Leave the fermentation bucket lid loose for the first 24 to 36 hours to make it easier to look to see that fermentation has started. No need to worry if the wort is too cool, go ahead and sprinkle the yeast over the surface.Īllow to ferment at 62 to 70 degrees F ( 17 to 21 degrees C) the recommended fermentation times specified in the recipe. When the temperature of the wort is below 80 degrees F ( 27 degrees C), pitch you yeast. Pour the wort into the sanitized fermenter and top it up with cold water to make 5 gallons. If you are using a carboy, put 1.5 gallons of cold water in the carboy and add the wort to it. If you are using a fermenting bucket, a quick way of bringing the wort down to the temperature is to put a bag of clean ice in the bottom of the fermenter and pour the wort over it. You can replace the water a few times to drop the temperature quicker. Place the brew pot in a sink of icy cold water, this will remove quite a bit of heat. You now need to get the boiling wort into the sanitized fermenter and drop the temperature below 80 degrees F ( 27 degrees C). Remove the hop bags after you turn off the heat.
