I accidentally set my chest freezer to 22 vs 32 (cold crashing) and now have frozen beer in my plastic Speidel.
Anything I need to do outside of warming it back up to above freezing?
*hell, I even left the airlock on.
I’m also slightly concerned about the beer expanding and cracking the fermenter.
Thaw it out, keep on trucking
+1. You may find out it’s one of the clearer beers you’ve made.
Yep. This ^^^^^. No worries. I wouldn’t reuse the yeast if the beer froze, but the beer will be just fine.
Yup. Had this happen with a wheat beer. Made a Kristallweizen (unintentionally).
EISBIER… 8)
Beat me to it
+1 as well … we have all been there. You will be fine.
Might as well make an ice beer while you’re at it ;D
I put the wrong temp probe in my beer once and froze the beer before it started fermenting. Was really pissed I made such a dumb mistake but in the end the beer turned out pretty great, no off flavors from auto lysis or anything and I hut my FG. I don’t think you have much to worry about.
