Either that or they meant 32C which is ~90F.

Just made the "updated" extract version of this, today. REALLY looking forward to having a viable summer beer ready soon while I wait for my big IIPA to carbonate. I was shooting for an OG of 1.057 and hit 1.055 which is the closest I've been to hitting my target yet.

Just finished a batch of a Three Floyds "Gumballhead" clone. I was targeting an OG of 1.057 and got 1.055. That's the closest I've ever been to hitting my target so it's already making me happy. It's also the first time I used a wort chiller instead of an ice bath and I can't believe I lived...

My local store keeps little buckets of LME out on room temp shelves. None of it is refrigerated. I have zero doubt that you're 100% fine.

Because I'm a masochist, I guess. The recipe was a random one I found on some other website that no one else had even rated...

Brettanomyces is infamous for this. I was talking to a brewer at Cascade Brewing one day and he said they only made one beer with it, once. Because of how difficult it was to kill off, they decided to never use it again. He said what they had to go through to clean all their lines and tanks and...
