I am brewing the shipwreck saison that Channel66 has published on here and I have a little bit of a problem. I grew up about a 1.25L starter of Wyeast 3726 farmhouse ale. My OG was 1062 and I started fermenting at room temp (~70deg) overnight. I was going to wait for fermentation to get started then transfer to a water bath with aquarium heater and attach a blow off tube. Well I waited too long, I woke up the next morning with the airlock blown off, wort overflowing out of the carboy and wort all over my walls and ceiling.
After clean up I lost about 1/2 gallon of wort, and so I capped it and put in the bath as usual. Fermentation looked like it was going strong for several days, then it calmed down. I was maintaining at about 80 degrees.
After 7 days (today) I took a reading and it is only at 1040. So my guess is due to the blow up, I lost a good amount of my yeast. Or was I fermenting too hot? I am open to other suggestions as well.
So what can I do? It smells fine, and tastes okay, so I am not convinced that it is infected (yet). I do have a 1L starter of US-05 that I am growing for another batch, could I throw some of that in there? It's not the same style. If I were to get another pack of farmhouse ale it would take a week for delivery.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
