I decided to get back into brewing after almost 5 years away from it. I bought a decent kit to include an aerator. I didn't spring for a chiller though. I brewed three batches last weekend. A crystal honey ale and two batches of a hallertau hopped pale ale. I got a little sloppy (well a lot sloppy with the honey ale) in regards to tempature at time of pitching. The honey took off real slow and stopped bubbling yesterday,it was pitched around 2 am Saturday. The first pale ale batch was pitched pretty close to temp and too off big time less than 8 hours later. By Sundaymorning it was bubbling steady and fast.by yesterday,it too has stopped bubbling. I made another pale ale Sunday afternoon and by Monday morning it was bubbling pretty good,but slowed down remarkably a couple hours later. Today it has stopped and the gravity says it has a ways to go. Both pale ales were areated for 30 minutes before pitching with an air pump/filter/aerating stone system. I have to go up to my girlfriends house today to check the other two batches gravity this afternoon. Does it sound like I need to repitch all three due to the original pitching temp being too high? The yeast I used was dry SAL.
