so, my buddy trevor is new to brewing, he is using those little 2 gallon fermentors, and hopped extract kits from Mr. Beer.
he recently made one at place....brewed as directed, sanitized his fermentor, added yeast after cooling.
he left his fermentor at my house (i usually keep the temp for fermenting ales in the mid 60's range)....og was 1.060 about 2 weeks ago, as of last night it was still 1.045
any particular reason this would happen?
question 2.
my buddy cultures his yeasts for re-use.....he has an excellent belgian blend, he gave me some of it in a tightly capped jar with some wort in/on it, it has been in my fridge for a month.
is it usable? could anything (that can survive in a beer) in my fridge ruin it.... or should i feel safe about using it when i buy ingredients for a new batch next weekend (i get paid bi-weekly....ugh)
