Hi everyone,
New to the forms, long time lurker though.
After extensive reading of the "Think you ruined your beer? Set your fears aside!" thread and some searches, I can't find the answer to my question.
Basically, my beer was fermenting VERY slow after 18-24 hours, and my kitchen was very cold, so I put some blankets around it and added a heating coil to warm it a bit. Ended up warming it too much I think (30C).
The yeast was going much better, we took off the coil and blankets to let it cool, and about 6-8 hours later it has totally stopped.
Is my yeast dead? Can I reactivate it? Can I add more yeast?
