I made a huge mistake, and I am concerned about the impact.
I made my biggest mistake yet in brewing. Made a Pilsner, and used saflager s23. I just recently cleaned out my temperature controlled ferm chamber, which is a fridge and a reptile heating wire.
Plug my fridge and the reptile heat thing into my temp controller. Set it to 10C (50F) and start fermenting. All this happened on Wednesday night. Today is Friday, and I go down to check on the beer and I can hear it bubbling like crazy through the fridge door. I open the door and can FEEL the heat. Uh oh.. i Check the temp controller and its showing 34C (93F)!!? I was flabbergasted, what the hell??? It turns out I had the heater and cooler in the wrong outlets. So the whole time it was trying to cool my beer it was increasing the heat. 34C(93F)!!!! Crap.
I fixed the wiring, but is the beer going to be drinkable???
