Afternoon all, Just a question, I've heard yeast can 'die' if you pitch it too hot. With both my brews I've pitched at 18 and had no issues but I'm wondering if this were to occur and the yeast didn't ferment can you save it by adding a second lot of yeast? Regards BHB

Was there much prep when painting the fridge? Can i ask what type of paint you used as well please.

Up near Newy mate. I have them in my shed, aka bar room.

Now we wait. Using one of my esky's with a rotation of ice bricks to keep temp down. One in smaller fermenter is my 1st brew and been at a constant 17° for 4 days now. Other one only went in today.

Will do. Thanks for that

Oh no. Went out and bought another brew, i have to fill both kegs seeing as the wife purchased the kegging system for me.

Thanks Grott. I got freezer blocks all ready to go. Fermenter is in a esky sitting in water, well add ice as needed to get the temp down. Sitting at a lovely 18 atm.

Here is what I've put into my 1st brew, Pale Ale Can. (Can't remember brand) 600g LME 200g Dextrose 200g Lactose 150g Crystal Grain Amarillo Hop Safale US-05 Yeast All purchased from country brewer

I understand that getting the same question would be annoying, just like toddlers asking why all the body time.

Sorry just a question in general, no issue as yet with second brew, I was just asked by a mate who has just started as well.

Hi all, New to this brewing caper, first brew was successful but I have a question about non fermenting beer. If my brew doesn't start to ferment can I rack it into another fermenter to try and activate the yeast? Regards Baldy
