Hi All
First time poster here. I only wish it was under better circumstances. I really just wanted to vent after i made a huge stuff up on my latest brew.
I noticed on the temp on the latest batch was getting a little low so i decided to turn the heat belt on for 30 minutes just to raise it a little.
Well, i forgot about it. About 24 hours later I went to check on my brew. As i touched and felt the warmth of the fermenter the memory came flooding back.
The temp got up to 36degrees :blink:
I took a sample of the beer and it has fermented (gravity 1012) and actually tastes ok. I think the bulk of the fermentation had been done and fermentation was starting to slow. In hindsight, this is most likely the reason the temp was dropping. It was a low gravity pale ale (1046).
Anyway, I think I dump this one as I dont really want to waste time bottling it.
Has anyone else ever made this mistake?
