Hey yo,
Glad to join this community. Some really knowledgeable people here with great advice.
Anyways, I attempted my first brew tonight. Thing were going ok, until I got too paranoid about mixing the wort and making sure the water was warm enough to dissolve when I was adding water to the mixture in the fermenter.
I am making an ale, and the temperature climbed quite high. I was almost at max capacity when I started to cool it down. My wort mixture was at 36 Celsius (96 Fahrenheit) when I added the yeast. I was torn between trying to wait for it to cool, but to leave the vulnerable wort sit I figured I should pitch and take my chances.
So let me have it, feel free to call me stupid! How much damage did I do adding the yeast t this higher than desired temp?
