Well, I knew it would happen sometime. I had to pour 5 gallons of beer out and start over. Too bad it happened on the first beer I was truly looking forward to. Oh, well. I'm pretty sure between me not making a starter, the yeast sitting in a hot FedEx warehouse over Labor Day, and the high OG of RRIR, the yeast gave up the ghost. Oh, well . . . I'm going to tweak the recipe and try again in a couple of months. In the meantime, I'm going the starter route for every brew from now on.
