Hello All,
So I used a shedload of fuggles to bitter a batch and my HX clogged. I had to move hot wort into the fermenter and knock it down overnight. Unfortunately I pitched the yeast before it filled, as usual.
Now, the fermenter is at 131F and will likely be down to pitching temps in the morning. This side of the rotten cold break, I'm hoping all the yeast in solution die and fall out.
Should I try to harvest the bottom of the tank in the morning (dead (hopefully) yeast, hops gunk, etc.) before re-pitching through a top port?
Live and learn. Servicing the HX tomorrow. Suggestions on how to save the 7 BBLs in the fermenter?
Thanks,
John
