Guys (and gals):
I went to cold crash a pale ale, and think I may have just ruined my beer. I have a freezer in which I do the cold crashing, and I regulate it's temp using a Ranco controller. Well, being the genius that I am, when I put the beer in the freezer, I accidentally left the Ranco's temperature probe outside of the freezer. Now I have a large block of ice, and I have no idea how this is going to affect the final product. To make matter worse, this was to be my entry into a home brew competition on March 7th, and I have only ONE backup (which is an experimental habaner/jalapeno beer, with a low expectation for success).
Have I ruined my beer? Is there anything I can do to salvage the beer?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
