Voss Kveik Yeast, too late to warm up?

That's great news. I'll be kegging the Blue Moon clone and harvesting yeast today. Incredible this was brewed 4 days ago. If the flavor profiles are there, I'm sold.

Have you considered trading in your translucent plastic fermenter for a stainless one? I used to ferment in glass carboys, but after narrowly escaping being sliced open (the carrier strap broke at the worst possible moment), I moved to stainless. I could not afford a $300 conical, so I bought an 8 gallon stainless pot for $50 and sealed it with a silicon tube and binder clips. Worked great. Since then I started doing "univessel" brewing. I mash, boil, and ferment in the same vessel. Once I proved to myself that the break material did not impact the flavor or quality of the final beer, I never looked back. The fermenter is sterilized during the boil and the best part is I wash 1 pot 1 time and that's after I keg the batch and easily harvest the yeast.

Blue Moon clone...sounds delicious!

I've definitely thought about stainless in the past, but honestly I love these Morebeer buckets. They have a spigot and the inside part of the spigot has a sediment blocker (basically there's a slit for the beer to travel through). They cost around $17, and work great. Normally, my brews ferment in my dark basement, so there's never a problem, unless, of course, I take it outside like I did for this brew. I even bottle from them most of the time to avoid the added chore of transferring to a bottling bucket and cleaning up more equipment after bottling.

That's awesome you discovered that break material doesn't impact the flavor. Does a lot of it sit at the bottom of your vessel once you transfer?
