Hi Guys,
I put a beer kit into my fermenter last night. I have fitted a heating element with a thermostat into the fermenter and I have it set to maintain the temp. at about 24 degrees. When I went in to check on it this morning the temp was 28 degrees. At some stage during the process I must have moved the thermostat setting. Lesson learned, from now on check that every before I walk away.
The airlock is completely still (it was pretty quiet last night also). Have I killed the yeast ? If I wait a day or so and nothing is happening, is it alright to pitch more yeast or should I just abandon ship on this batch and give it to the garden ?
Thanks,
JC
