Stink smell
Ferment cooler, Use yeast nutrient.
Yeah I have some old some and barley in a brown bag in my basement I was thinking about throwing a small batch together and see how it turned outYes, this.
I just managed to ruin a 3gal. batch of ale because the temps changed on me here in NJ. I don't use a temp regulated fermenter, I do my stuff at ambient in a kitchen carboy.
After a couple frosty days, I assumed the temps would be cooler. Boy, was I wrong. Had to pitch my beer. Instead of an anticipated 1.012 gravity, it soured into vinegar territory. Using crap leftover DME didn't help ... it was a year old, but them's the results when you take a chance like that.
