Cold crash disaster!

[gSmith]

I put my fermentation fridge on low for a few days to cold crash and hold off bottling day until I had some free time.

No, not making an ice beer, just a dodgy thermostat… I’m not sure how long 40 pints will take to thaw.

I knew I’d be posting about a home brew disaster before too long!

It's not a disaster. It'll be fine when thawed out.
I've done the same when my thermostat was hanging out of the fridge door.

Thanks AJA!

I’ve got an Inkbird on order to hopefully stop this happening again.

It took 48 hours to defrost. Now kegged and carbonating.
