Hi all,
This is my first brew and I'll be bottling this weekend, but I'm afraid that I made a crucial error today.
I'm brewing the BB American Amber Lager, but it has been super dark and cloudy throughout the process so I wanted to give it a nice cold crash before bottling to clear things up a bit. It is a nice temperature to cold crash outside so I placed my plastic carboy on the back porch last night with the plan of covering it with a blanket this morning before I left for work. Of course I forgot to do so and I remembered my error around 2:00pm. Fortunately, I was able to give my buddy a call and he covered it around 2:15pm.
It is flush against my siding on the opposite side of the house of where the sun rises, so I'm thinking it got an hour or so of direct exposure. Is this going to skunk my beer?
