Temperature swing of 10+ degrees during fermentation Totally agree Denny, in fact - that's usually what I do. The only reason I'm planning on transferring to secondary this time is because that's when I'm going to add the coffee and vanilla... plus I want to free up my glass carboy for another batch. |

Temperature swing of 10+ degrees during fermentation Thanks PMV, not my first porter, but it is my first batch at this time of year... thus the colder temperatures. I hope you're right about not noticing it... I'm just looking forward to tasting it to find out! This is only my 6th or 7th batch, and my first attempt at a secondary fermentation - and adding flavors during it, so I'm a little nervous but excited too. Appreciate your comment. |

Temperature swing of 10+ degrees during fermentation Thanks. The OG on Sunday was 1.069, haven't re-measured since then. I'm going to let it sit for about 4 more days before moving it to secondary and will re-test then. I'm hoping that will help with any of the possible by-products. What temp range should I aim for between now and then, and then once in secondary? |

Triple Fermented?? But Why? Voted up - I thought this was a useful comment - not sure why it was voted down in the first place. It seems like it might be possible to impart a unique flavor into the beer by pitching a new strain in the secondary fermenter... if you racked carefully, making sure to leave most of the yeast from the primary. I have no idea how well it might work - but would be fun to try. |
