Today, I made the below beer and used dried Voss as a stand in for s-04. The flavor profiles seems similar and I thought I would give hot fermentation a go. I overshot my chilling a bit, and pitched at 72 degrees, put the fermenter in the mini fridge and turned on the heat pad. Three hours later, at 85 degrees, a fully formed krausen and bubbling away. Eight hours after pitch, a beer that started at 1.061 is sitting at 1.046(85 degrees). Wouldn't surprise me if this beer hits final gravity in less than 48 hours.
Oh yeah, the smell when opening the fridge to look is WONDERFUL.......and it's fascinating how much movement there is in the fermenter....
