Hi all, just took a gravity reading of my cider and it has dropped to 1.004 from 1.010 in 24 hours after being stuck on 1.010 for 4 days. I have no temp control so the fermenter has been sitting inside my house at a temp of between 30-36C for the last 4 days. Gravity had not dropped since i racked to secondary 5 days ago.
The only thing i can think of is that the heatwave in Melbourne suspended fermentation and now that the ambient temp is below 30C the yeast has picked up again. I thought the yeast could have/would have perished in this heat. What happened to my brew?
