Hey All,
I'm mid-brew right now, and my thermometer broke. I had a nice digital thermometer that was working all the way up until the end of my boil. Now it is not. Does anybody know of any ways I can tell if my wort is below the necessary yeast pitching temperature (~70F)?
Also, I'm a newb, and am not using a wort chiller. I thought an ice bath would suffice, but clearly did not have NEARLY enough ice, so now my brew kettle is sitting in the freezer. Does anybody see any problems with this?
Prompt responses will be appreciated, I don't want my wort to freeze,
