Notes

From strike to knock out, twas a good brew day. However, I didn't do so good with the yeast management. Didn't start the starter until the morning. Didn't remember to save as much headspace in the fermenters to handle another 1L starter and still have enough head room. Probably cold crashed the yeast when it was in the freezer initially. The probe/thermowell went into the glass carboy, which contained beer at 60-70°F. The chiller came on strong for a long time. The smaller volume vessels in there got colder faster than the large carboy. I pulled the yeast out, let the wort cool some more, then went ahead with the pitch. The corny did just fit the 1L starter, but there was almost zero headspace left. I installed blow off tubes on all 3 fermenters. 60 hour lag time.
