# Brew Process Norms — Standard Practices

_General brewing rules and decision frameworks Topher uses across most batches._

---

## Fermentation Completion
**Rule:** Wait for SG stable 5+ days before considering fermentation done
**Depends on:** Style — not a hard rule, use judgment
- High gravity / big beers: longer stable period
- Sessionable beers: can often call sooner
- When in doubt: wait for 3 consecutive days no change

---

## Cold Crash Timing
**Rule:** Cold crash when SG is near terminal and recipe is otherwise complete
**Notes:**
- Adjacent ferments in same space will pull each other's temp down during crash
- Temp swings on neighboring TILTs during cold crash are normal, not a problem

---

## Pitching Temp
**Rule:** Most ales pitch around 65-68°F
**Note:** Cider-ales may differ — check recipe

---

_Append standard practices here. These are defaults, not rules — always check recipe first._
