Currently I have in primary 1 6gal Ed Worts Apfelwein and 1 5gal Bourbon Barrel porter from Northern Brewers.
I just now went in to check on my beer to find frost on the carboy containing my Apfelwein. WTF just happened?
Well it appears as though my probe had fallen out of the freezer, when I had went to check it earlier this week.
And since my roommates have the heat on it sometimes got warmer than the desired 68-70F I had the chosen for my brewing range. The freezer would kick on. And the probe being outside...
Currently it's sitting open trying to get it to warm up a bit.
Anyone have any thoughts, on:
1.) How to proceed from here.
2.) How to prevent this in the future? What is the best place to position the probe? I had it dangling appx 3 inches in from the edge hence the uh oh. WIll tape next time
3.) What are the potential consequences of this woopsy?
NOTES:
Apfelwein
=== in since Dec 10
=== the only one with frost
=== Montrachet
Porter
=== in since Dec 12
=== high kraeusen has already passed.
=== Danstar Windsor Ale
I did not take any gravity readings
