I was fermenting it inside my apartment and the power has finally come back on. The beer looks dormant, no krausen or anything. It has changed colors to an unusual green tint

I brewed an AG DIPA on Sunday and last night our power went out at 3 a.m. and has yet to come back on. When I woke up at 10 a.m. the carboy temp was 52 deg. Being as im only into primary 3 or 4 days is the beer ruined.

Hey im in Raleigh and if your ever looking to get up and brew with somebody you should let me know. Im also in a small apartment and I do 10g AG batches monthly and sometimes bi weekly

I used a lab grade thermometer as back up and thats how I read 120deg. The Iodine test was recommended by my local homebrew store and sure enough it turned pitch black. Im assuming it didnt convert to sugar.

This is most bada$$ setup ive ever seen. I will live vicariously through your home brewery.
