I put down a Brewcraft (Redback clone) wheat beer on Saturday with SAFBREW WB-06 yeast (Ideally fermented between 15C-24C). I left it in my insulated fermentation cupboard and last night when I noticed that the temperature had dropped to 18 degrees I turned on the heat belt for a short blast. (Planning on raising the temp back up to 22 or so.).
Unfortunately, flicking the switch was such hard work that I was forced to open the tap on one of my kegs and have a couple. Then maybe a couple more ....
Long story short ... I was enjoying my beer so much that I forgot to turn off the heat belt, and this morning I found the brew at a quite toasty 34 degrees! Is it a lost cause? If I cool it down quickly will it have a chance or should I just start again from scratch? Now ... how I wish I had a second mashmaster controller!
