Going to start this kit over the weekend and am planning nominal tweaks -
* Fermenting to dry, so, we're skipping the sorbate.
* There's plenty of oak included in the kit, so, if I add anything on this side of the equation, maybe tannin in the finish.
* The kit comes with EC-1118 yeast... Old faithful. I'm going to swap it with something like the BMX-45 (?) or RC-212.
It's cool in the basement (61*) so, we're going to try out a brew belt on the primary.
Making a pilgrimage to the LHBS for supplies in the next couple days. So, what do you think? For those who have done this kit already, what would you have done differently?
