So I brewed an IPA last night, ended up killing a 6 pack of my APA in the 4 hours it took to brew....
Long story short I pitched the yeast at 70F, put my fermenters in my fermenting fridge, set my Johnson temp controller to 62F and went to sleep.
When I woke up I was surprised to find the fridge running and my beer temp down to 60F! Looked at my Johnson controller and it read 68F! DOH!
I knew right away. I forgot to reinstall my temp sensor probe back into the fridge! The freaking thing had run all night...it was 45F in the fridge!
The beer temp never got below 60 but the yeast is doing absolutely nothing. Is it asleep? I am going to warm it back up to 65F slowly and hope for the best.
