Did a worknight brew last night and let it cool in the kettle as I was to be pitching this morning and couldnt be stuffed cubing it when sleep beckoned.
This morning about halfway through transferring to fermentor I happened to touch the keggle and was suprised how warm it still was ...took a smalll sample for the thermometer...41C. :huh:
Not knowing what to do I completed the transfer and clingwrapped the fermentor, with the rehydrated yeast (Belle Saison) in a seperate vessel also clingwrapped sitting next to it. Planning on pitching when I get home...forecast for 26 here today and the garage ususally stays a bit cool, so should be down to low 20s by then. Was planning on fermenting this one at ambient as my ferm fridge is currently full.
Has anyone left wort in the fermentor for long without pitching yeast? will it be ok to leave clingwrapped rehydrated yeast sitting all day prior to pitching?
Cheers
PS...looking forwward to GABF tomorrow!!!
