question about fermentation

[LanMan]

Don't be suprised to get some off flavors fermenting a lager yeast at ale yeast temps. You will end up with beer no matter what. For your next batch try US-05 or Nottingham. These are my go to dry ale yeasts and they ferment fine at 70*.

Keep brewing

thanx for the heads up,fermentation is at a full boil finally,when i rack into a bottling bucket with the priming sugar,do you draw off the top to rack leaving the bottom untouched or can i use my wine siphon that goes from bottom up?

Making a yeast starter with DME helps get the process started quicker. I did this with my last kit and I had airlock activity in 4 hrs. I made the starter a day in advance.

Yeah, you will want to leave everything you can in the fermenting vessel. there is plenty of yeast still in suspension to carb your beer.
Always glad to help.

Brew on
