Ahhhhh so a bit of user error here! I have a fridge on a temp controller with a digital thermometer to read the internal fridge temp. Unfortunately I had it set to read the ambient temp instead of the probe temp. So when I thought the fridge was at 64F it was truly at 32F! D'oh!
Sooo yesterday I made two 1 US gallon brews; one is Flower Power Clone with US-05, the other is a Kentucky Common with Saflager W-34/70. Pitched both yeasts at about 66 degrees after each was rehydrated for about an hour and then immediately stuck both in the fridge.
Gotta a bit curious just now when I didn't see activity and only just realized my mistake with the refrigerator temp.
What should I do now? I opened the fridge door and set the temp controller temp up to 60.. hoping it all comes back up to 60-66 degrees fair quickly. The yeast/trub has all settled down a decent amount since I did an accidental cold crash. Should I re-aerate these worts once they come back up to temp?
