I was making a new batch of IPA, when I remembered I was supposed to go out with my gf... so naturally I started rushing to finish. While I was rushing I completely stop thinking. First I put a lid on my wort while it was boiling, and it boiled over... then when I finally got the wort in the primary it was too hot to pitch the yeast. I knew it was better to pitch then to wait so I took a temperature reading and it was 35C/95F. This is when I told myself, if it doesn't come out I'll just spend another 15$ to make anther batch. The next day I noticed the the beer was fermenting but not as vigorously as it usually does but I was happy that it was fermenting. On day 4 fermentation slowed down to almost a complete stop, so I took an SG reading and to my disappointment ABV was about 2.5%. So I said to myself I'll rack it to the secondary then bottle, and if worst comes to worst I'll cook with it.
When it got into the secondary, yesterday, it started fermenting again and more vigorously then before...
My guess is that I shocked the yeast and when I racked into secondary it re-agitated the yeast... I'll let know how it comes out in a couple of weeks!!!
