I brewed a Sierra Nevada stout clone and let it ferment for 5 days before kegging. I hit my FG no problem . my ferment temps for that 5 days was about 62 at night to 68 during the day. I transferred to my keg.
I did not have any star san so I used iodophor to clean the keg and my racking cane.
I hit it with some Co2 and put it in the back room of my house. is has been really cold the last few days with temps around 25-50 degrees. The beer has been in the keg for 3 days now. I pulled a sample and it was still alittle hoppy with a nice back bone of diacetyl. I let the keg drip dry for a few minutes before I put beer in it and rinsed some of the foam around the lid also. Do you think that is the problem. Maybe the off flavor is from the iodophor or am I just not done fermenting enough. If i warm the keg back up would that help?
thanks this sucks... I am also nervious b/c i re-used the yeast in my beer going now
