Servus,
I have used 34/70 many times and have never had a problem.
I brewed a pils on wednesday and pitched first generation yeast at about 14C and let the cooling system cool it down to 10C. Apparently something is not accurate, as I set it for 10C but the tank was at 7.5 by Friday morning, 48 hours later, though my spunding valve was only showing a small increase in pressure. I brought it back up to 10C over the course of a day.
On Saturday, three days after pitching, pressure was increasing and the temp was starting regulate itself due to yeast activity. On Sunday and Monday, the pressure continued to increase until the pressure relief valve on the spunding valve start releasing co2, as the proper pressure was reached.
Today, Tuesday, the pressure is exactly the same, temp as well, but zero activity. I checked the gravity and it is halfway done. I have never had nor seen a fermentation apparently stop so fast and in the middle of fermentation.
Should I
1.) Leave it alone for a couple days to see if it is still fermenting and my valve are simply off?
2.) Repitch new yeast through a pressurized tank?
3.) do something else?
Thanks for the help!
Prost,
Dave
