I brewed a 5 gal batch of Honey Brown Ale yesterday with Bottled Water. Im using the pitchable liquid WLP051 without having made a starter. I left it out for a good 6 hours to warm up prior to use.
Anyways, I cooled the wort to 80 degrees and pitched my yeast into it. Then i poured it into the carboy. Stupid me, i didn't realize that i left the bottled water on my porch which was probably 60 degrees and poured it into the carboy. The temperature was 65 degrees when i did the gravity reading.
Did dumping the cold water into the carboy shock my yeast? I checked today and there was a large layer of sediment on the bottom of the carboy. I stirred it, and the temp is still 65 degrees.
Should i be worried?
