you pitch your yeast when its still cold, is it going to screw up the fermentation? or will it just take longer to start fermenting?
Is it just me or does anyone else think he may have taken his yeast straight out of the fridge and pitched on 80* wort?
Interestingly enough, I did this yesterday. I brewed a batch of Porter that I plan to rack into secondary and let it sit on some Vanilla beans, and also do a 1 gallon Raspberry Vanilla Porter experiment... anyway. I pitched the yeast that I had just pulled out of the fridge after sticking the packet in my armpit (lol) to warm them up a bit. The yeast couldn't have been anywhere near 70*, probably more like in the 50's. This morning, there was a 2" thick layer of Krausen already. Definitely not even a 12 hour lag. Safale -04
My I suggest the name "Armpit Ale?"
Would you have to let that one get skunked first so it would fit with the "style"?
