Last night I put my hefe into the primary after my first full boil with new burner and pot. :rockin:
Anyways, when I woke up this morning she was bubbling away, and the house was at around 70 degrees. I was planning on setting up a swamp cooler in my closet when I got home. I figured that since swmbo was home she wouldnt let it get above 72 in the house, boy was i wrong. I came home and it was like 77 in the house So I quickly grabbed my rubbermaid tub, filled it with cold water and sat the primary in it. It has now been in there for a little over 3 hours now and the bubbling has slowed down some, so Im assuming that the wort has cooled some as well. The smell comming out of the airlock is a bit on the banana side... So my question is this, am I going to have a banana hefe on my hands just because of one warm day of fermentation? Also, do it just need to keep it around 70 degrees until primary fermentation is complete?
