Notes:

*  Use chilled water to reach a satisfactory temperature, preferably at or below 20°C and add yeast immediately.

 

** Keep the fermenter cool, ideally 12-15°C.  Place the fermenter on a concrete slab or place in a tray of water and wrap in a towel.  Use frozen drink bottles around fermenter.  Use an old fridge with a Brewers Choice Brewing Thermostat for ideal brewing conditions.
