Actually my second batch. But my first was 8 years ago, then the kit went into storage and I finally pulled it back out. So I am essentially starting over again.
I have a question about my current English Brown Ale. I swear I looked around first to try and find an answer, but I don't think anyone has pulled a bonehead move like this before. So here goes.
I am 99% sure I pitched my yeast into a wort that was WAY too hot. My instructions indeed said "Cool the Wort. Add to Primary Fermenter. Add 3 gallons of water. Stir. Pitch yeast.". I followed the steps and immediately pitched the yeast, not realizing that a wort that is too hot can damage the yeast. I had bubbling in the airlock for about 5 days til it stopped. I then racked into a secondary fermenter. The sample was good. After 2 days in the secondary the haze is settling to the bottom nicely.
Question: Can I send it BACK to the Primary and pitch again or is it too late?
OG is 1.05
current gravity is 1.01
Have mercy on a p00r n00b. (just bought a wort cooler for the next batch)
