So I've had a woodfordes nog brewing for a week and wanted to make a poachers choice clone, so following a recipe from someone on here i pasteurised 2kg of plums and added some liquorice root to the brew after a week.
However my mind was elsewhere and I didn't let the plums cool down for long at all, I did drain them of the water which was about 65 degrees C.
I didn't take a hydrometer reading before but I've took one now and it's at 1012 (around about the right sg for a nog kit when it's finished). I will take another in a couple of days to see if it's moved, the beer is still cloudy suggesting there is yeast suspended and actually tastes pretty good. I'm just worried by putting the hot plums in I may have killed the yeast off.
Anyone got any suggestions on the best course of action?
Thanks
