Hey all,
So I'm still newish to brewing though I've done about 7 successful batches. I've always done them roughly the same way and they've all been extracts
I just brewed a Sierra Nevada clone. I couldn't for the life of me get the wort to cool down so after an hour and a half of trying I ended up pitching the yeast at 95 degrees f. I know I shouldn't have but i had to be up for work in 6 hours so I did it.
Next morning I check it out and it's fermenting pretty good within the first six hours. Then my wife calls me and said some is coming out of the air lock, then she calls and said its blown. So I got her to quickly set up a sanitized blow over tube into a pitcher of water. And it is now still vigorously fermenting 20 hours later
So should I call it? Is this batch just screwed from the get go or I should I ride it out?
