Question About Coopers Kit (temp) And Intro

[c0z]

yeah, thanks jasony, and Spun kambah is my local!

 

[c0z]

the larger in question is bottled now
can only keep the bottles at 16 degree's tho will it still ferment in the next 14 days?

i put on an OLD clone to ferment morgans old and 1 kilo dextrose this time i stirred the yeast in hot water first then added and stireeed into wort seems to have finished fermenting in 4 days but i will leave it till seven days then let it cool.

If you rehydrate your yeast, use boiled water that's cooled down to 30C or lower.

next time i will.......this litre of water was about 70 degress when i stirred the yeast in but 20 secs later i dumped it into the 25 degree wort and stirred.
is that gonna wreck the beer?

Hi c0z, after a bit of googling it seems that temps above 50 C will kill yeast very rapidly. Afterall they do like similar temperatures to us and I don't think you'd be to happy getting chucked in a bath at 70 degrees! I'd get another pack and pitch it asap.

 

[c0z]

oh it fermented in about 2 days so i wasnt worried about that more that i might have wrecked the taste especailly since it is just

1 can morgans old and yeast (stirred into boiling water then pitched and stirred into wort.
1 kilo beermakers branded dextrose
