So my Sanyo mini-fridge apparently does not have a setting to leave the temps in the mid-30s. You can only go to about 40F, or the mid 20s.
I did not know this, and in trying to find the magic mean, I accidentally froze my carboy.
Solid.
So... what do I do now? Will the beer recover? Are the yeast dead?
1) Is it worth continuing to lager any more with this batch, or have I hosed the yeast altogether?
2) If my yeast are now frozen to death, can I pitch a new vial of yeast before bottling?
