I realized last night that my wife had been turning off the AC in our condo to save costs while we were at work during the day. I have been fermenting a Wit beer during these past 2 days of high temperatures in Chicago, and she remembered that it was 85 degrees in the condo when she got home from work on mon and tuesday evenings.
i have been fermenting a Wit beer using Wyeast 3944. the temperature range on that is up to 75 degrees.
i put the fermentor in the bathtub in a waterbath, and also set the AC to 72 degrees. So I should be OK going forward.
So what do you think? Is 2 days up at real high temps enough to screw up the flavors? I know belgian yeasts generally handle high temps pretty well, but this was quite a bit more...
