Notes:

* Use sterilized containers with lids. Do not leave your fermenter to cool before adding yeast, as this increases the chance of an infection.  Use the chilled water to reach a satisfactory temperature and add yeast immediately. 

** Try to maintain a cool, even temperature in the fermenter, ideally 12°C. Place your fermenter next to brick or cement, or wrap it in a towel with one end in water, to reduce temperature.  Place in a box with frozen water bottles. Use a Brewers Choice Brewing Thermostat and old fridge for optimum brewing conditions.
