So I had a problem with my ferm chamber. There was a power outage and my STC setting for deviation from the set point moved to 2 degress C. That caused my wort to drop to about 59F. The chamber is out my friends house where we brew and he called me yesterday to let me know that he just noticed this. We had brewed it last weekend.
Basic AG Pale Ale 1.052 OG
Took a sample and it is at 1.010 FG, but there is a nasty sulfery off flavor.
We had pitched Wyeast 1056 (Starter as normal) and the chamber had been set at 64F so I think that what happened is that there was plenty of heat in there for the yeast to crank through the sugars but then as the temp dropped they shut down and are not doing a good job of cleaning up after themselves.
I fixed the issue with the chamber and the temp is now set for 65F
Looking for suggestions.
1. Just wait......
2. Rouse the yeast and wait
3. Move to secondary and wait
5. Pitch fresh yeast, drink more beer, and wait
