I brewed an all grain German kolsch with wlp036. Pitched the yeast at 60° but when I opened the vial it exploded and I lost quite a bit of yeast.
Also my ferm chamber is an old fridge that only gets to 60° in the summer. But the past few days it has been cooler and now the fridge is down to 52°
Is that too low for wlp036?
What's the process for re-pitching?
Is it possible to reactivate the yeast that's in there?
I did get some fermentation after about 12 hours but it wasn't very vigorous.
Questions comments concerns
thanks
