Greetings all! My friend and I had a brewing session the other night. He is creating an imperial stout, and I am making a hoppy pilsner. In any case, neither of us are getting the kind of fermentation we were expecting. Mine (the pilsner) is undergoing primary fermentation at 50 deg F. His (the imperial stout) is fermenting at room temperature. So... A few questions:
1. Are we doing something wrong?
2. Should I be fermenting at a higher temp at first (pilsner)?
3. How can we fix the problem if we pitched bad yeast? Do we just add more?
Anyway, any help you experienced brewers can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
