I might have messed up my stout
-
I chilled the beer down to about 75* and pitched the yeast. I hook up the temp controller and the fermwrap and put it in the fermentation room (bathroom). I go back a little later to check the temp and it shows 56* which is weird cause I know the temp is set for 70*. I double check and decide it must have gotten cold in the bathroom that doesn't have central heat. I decide to wrap a blanket around the beer to warm it up. I go back to check today and it's still 56*. Now I know something is up. Check the ferm wrap and it's warm. Then I look and see the probe sticking out from under the blanket. Not in the thermowell. Uh OH. FAIL. Stick the probe in and it is 90*.
Hope the temp will drop quick and I hope I don't get bad flavors off the high ferm temps.
The yeast is US 05 -
You may gets some esters, but those can be tasty sometimes. Just worry less... you did remember to add the milk, right?"I don't have TP, but I do have ammo."

Leave it in primary an extra week ... it'll be fineNever attribute to malice, that which can adequately be explained by stupidity.

Was it actively fermenting at that point? Or was it just getting going? At hat temp I would inmagine it's going like gangbusters.
Leave it on the yeast cake for a good while and a lot of the off flavors should mellow out, bottle it up and try one, if it sucks just stash it away and try one every 6 months, when its tasty, drink em up!Jesus didn't wear pants -
Agree with the Dr. I should worry less. This beer will stay in primary 4 weeks. Then secondary until August. Then oak for two weeks. Then bottle age until Christmas 2013.
