150L of failed TPW

[Frothwizard]

So before Christmas we had a bit of a heatwave, 40+ for about 4 days in a row. Half way through I decided to put on a barrel of TPW.

Long story short the heat in the shed and the days after made the entire wash ferment out in 24 - 48 hours.

It smelt a bit strange but on the whole it wasn't terrible and I was hoping it would work.

Tonight I decided to run it after spending a month clearing.

RESULT from 40L boiler charge: 600ml Fores / Heads, 400ml hearts, the rest is tails.

What a complete waste of money and time.

Lesson learnt: Control your ferment temperatures.

i had they same thing with all my brews in the last two month :angry-banghead:
immersion chiller will help with getting temps down at pitching time
can't do to much about outside temps other than fermentation room :think:

Is that the first time you've run the bubbler with the packed section?
If so is it possible that you were running a bit quick and dragged the tails through?

I wish you were right, unfortunately, it was not the first time. It ran like it always did... :(
