Gday all, long time listner first time caller... (10monthsish)
Peface:
Biab, not expected attenuation
3kg pils malt
2kg munich malt
20L @ 70°c strike
68°c for 60min
Remove grain bag put into 10L @ 80°c for 10mins.
Combine wort
Boil 60min.
20g hellertau @ 60min
20g hellertau @ 10min
20g hellertau @ 0min
Expectexd SG: 1.048
SAFLAGER W34/70 @ 10°c for 10days
Gravity @ 1.020 (expecting FG~1.011)
Temp raised to 14°c
Gravity didn't change after 3 days.
Transfered to secondary, yeast cake to jars.
Problem:
After tranfering to secondary for cold crash
Yeast jars sat for 2hours, contents started to separate.
After opening lids got a positive pressure pop and contents appeared to mix itself.
I decided to repitch the yeast jars at the slightly warmer temp 20°c and put back in the fridge at 15°c.
Did i make the right decision? Should i have increased temps before transfering to secondary?
Thanks for any input, still green at this.
Brett
