Ok, will bring it up. So your thought (mine also) is slow ferm is mainly due to low temp?

Hi, I have read a lot about 05 being a work horse, what I am experiencing is just so different than any other yeast I got to do a gut check. So I usually use nottingham yeast for ales and after day 2 it’s going nuts. This 05 is going just 1/4 speed. The brew temp is low( 62), gravity readings...

You are good due to the temps. The biggest issue is what tobor stated BUT I have have personaly found no issue with aeration before fermentation issues. So enjoy the brew and learn! Cheers

I dry pitched it, It seemed to ferment very quickly, done after 3 days, fg was high .12 is idea, I was getting .2with taking temp into reading. og was dead on at .52. had a taste today, seemed very hot on the alcohol like flyguy mentioned, besides that tasted good. Any ideas on the fg???

its already into day 4, I noticed 12 hours later it was down to 74

hi guys, I been reading alot in this forum and found pitching in yeast at 90 deg is not good. I was following the directions on the wheat ale that was looking for a 90 deg temp for yeast to be added, any idea on how bad this batch is going to be, or problems??

Great forum, guess I can chock this one up to experience, although I have a feeling there will be more

Thanks for the info, I was parinoid about contamination.

Hi guys, needless to say this was my first batch ever. I was putting the hydrometer into the lid and the o-ring fell into the wort!!!! I sanitized my hands and reached in and got it, should I just through the beer out?? I did how ever have the o-ring sanitized before it fell in.
