Awesome! I learned something new about the ester production being only at the start of fermentation when the yeast is dividing to increase cell count. This would also be a really good reason to use...

I agree that they probably flubbed somehting and gave you the PM version of the recipe. Either way it should be fun right! Something a little different than the usual makes for an exciting brew day.

I think this could be worked out as a German Alt or something like that. Might give Wyeast 1007 German Ale yeast a shot and ferment as low as you can.

You can alway buy a plastic blue bin and...

Depending on the type of yeast but I'd say no. I'd keep it at 64 degrees unless your recipe calls for some of the esters produced by the yeast from ramping up the temps like in a Belgian Ale.

What recipe are you looking at? I've been wanting to do a Scottish Ale so I figured I'd ask. I do agree though to keep the fermenting temps down to 60ish for Scottish Ales

Awesome! Thanks. The only issue I could see is if you actually do have a leak and then you've lost all your gas. :( Do you soap test it for leaks or what works best for you to check for leaks?

if you were actually mashing at 163-168 you'd have lots of unfermentable sugars so it would be cloyingly sweet, not really dry. It should have finished above 1.020 when mashing that high I would...

I'd let it go and proceed as normal. Just remember it on the next brew. There are so many beers I wish I could get back because I ruined them by trying to "fix" something later in the game. :/
