Q: Well, my grain bag broke while steeping! I continued to brew, according to the recipe. I ended up with quite a bit of flaked maize in primary! When I rack to secondary, should I try a strainer to catch some of the grain, or will it settle in the trub? I didn't want to dump it, because it smells amazing! Thanks in advance, Edward

Asked by: EDWARD GRIGGY - 3/29/2020

A: straining away as much as possible would be the best bet at this point to limit it from ending up in the bottles or keg

Q: I am going to secondary ferment this recipe. Do I still pytch all the yeast in the primary? Is the secondary mainly for the beer to be more clear? Thanks! You guys rock!

Asked by: EDWARD GRIGGY - 3/26/2020

A: The secondary is more for clarifying and conditioning so all the yeast would be added to the primary fermenter

Q: Newbie here, wondering about using Safale-05 with this cerveza kit. Isn't that an ale yeast? If I use it here will the beer still taste light, like a Sol? And, would I ferment at ale temp or lager temp? Thanks.

Asked by: Bill - 6/15/2017

A: When using US-05 this will still ferment as an Ale. That being said, US-05 is a clean fermenting yeast that will get you pretty close to a lager. It's not going to be exact, but it's very close. We have had great success making this recipe with the 05 and many others have as well!

Q: what is the ideal temperature for fermentation, primary and secondary?

Asked by: robert ogden - 10/18/2016

A: The ideal temperature for fermentation is 64-72, same for secondary. Dramatic rises and drops in temperature will contribute to off flavors.

Q: I followed the recipe, but found that the maize soaked up so much of the wort that I had to add 3 1/2 gal to the wort to get to 5 gallons. The og was 1.030. - It is in secondary now, smelled ok when racked. But I am concerned it will be so watered down. I wish I would've known how much of the water the maize soaked up. This was my 10th brew - still a newbie and learning but this seemed way off the mark. Should I still bottle it or scrap it? Anyone else with this experience? I've mostly have brewed IPAs.

Asked by: Bonnie - 2/7/2016

A: It is still gonna be beer, just a little light so I would keep it. I would also say evaporation occurred.
