Hey,
Im attempting the Requiem Raspberry recipe. I did it yesterday but had a mishap with melted plastic, so I scrapped that batch. Today I re-did it, but the water temperature was quite hot this time when it was time to pitch the yeast...It may have been above 110F...I definitely stressed them out with this. With yesterday's plastic batch(dumped it) the Nottinghale Yeast was really going by now, but tonight with the new batch I cant smell it at all...
Should I wait until the morning to add more Notthingale yeast when I can buy it, or pitch coopers classic yeast right away to avoid contamination??
Also, would adding more Nottinghale yeast from a fresh pack help alleviate the problem of the yeast focusing on reproduction due to shocking/killing them with heat?
Thanks,
Delaney
note: yesterday the temp was cooler because I brewed incorrect amount, using imperial gallons
