Thanks okie, I do have ferm temp control. Like I said accidental rise. S'"#$ happens. Mostly fermented, notty-10 days. I usually will let it rise to 70 after 10 days to 2 weeks. 80 on the other hand eas unexpected
Sad to say I errored in ferm temp control but after 10 days when most work had been done but...I wanted to pitch on the yeast cake. Notty, fermented at 62 to 67 for 10 days , then accidental rise to 80 ....now gonna crash slowly getting to 30s. Yeast safe to use again?
When I moved from cali to colo I felt like a sailor "where is the beer I like" ...west coast hop...fat tire won by default. You could find it everywhere. When I went back to visit buddies, they said look what have we have for you....fat tire...wtf I prefer some lauganitas ipa from peteluma haha
Before I read any responses my thought was fermentation temperature control and water source.. my beers as good if not better than store bought. Not just my opinion. Temp of fermentation is not the room temp. You have to monitor it or else it's a guess. I buy ro water then add 1 tea spoon each...
