Hello everybody,
As the topic says this is my second brew. I brewed this last Sunday so it’s young, only 3-4 days old. My previous brew was the caribou slobber. My first turned out awesome. So brew day went off without a hitch. I brewed 6 gal and finished just under 5 after the boil. Cleaned and sanitized everything possible. I added the hops at 60 with the liquid extract, let it brew for 60 minutes and at the 3 minute mark I added 2lbs of honey (I added an extra lb). Transferred it to the primary fermenter. I made sure to aerate the wort after adding some water to bring it to the full 5 gal. I pitched the yeast at 65 degrees (US-06 dry yeast just poured onto the wort). Just checked on it today and it looks good. It’s fermenting at 64-66 degrees, it’s lightened up in color and smells amazing. My only concern is the foam cap looks small. My caribou slobber needed the blow off hose but this one doesn’t look like it’s gone above 2 inches thick. I appreciate the help everybody!
