BlackSands Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 For CC'ing I usually set the controller to 0.5ºC. This time however it's resulted in a rather large 'beerberg' floating around in the FV. Still... no where near as bad as this guys experience: As it happens his beer survived and apparently turned out quite nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeastyBoy Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Bugger, yet to experience such drama. Would be inclined to tip & start again. Note the "quite good" so certainly the brew suffered. Wot you going to do @BlackSands? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 I've done that before with a batch of red ale. I bottled it but it wasn't as good as it normally is. Whether that was from being a slushy for a while or the little bit of lager yeast I added at bottling time I don't know, but I'm glad it hasn't happened again. That was without using a temp controller as it had died. I usually set it to zero and they don't freeze on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Lao Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 That has happened to me before as well. Thats why I set my STC-1000 to 2degC now. From memory I just bottled as normal and lost a bit due to the beer berg. Don't recall the beer being adversely affected. Cheers James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
