Hey everyone, I know this has been covered before but I read all the posts that search brought up for me and can't find a definitive answer.
The mini fridge that controls my fermentation cabinet gave up the ghost Monday night(I guess) and I checked my 10 gallons of IPA I had fermenting this morning and they were at 79. I immediately freaked out and wrapped them in wet tee shirts.
I just came home for lunch and they're down to 77-76. What kind of off flavors should I expect and is it possible they will age out of the beer?
I'm pretty bummed because I was brewing this for a party on Oct 2nd which is exactly 6 weeks from this past saturday, my brew day, and I really don't want to have to brew this beer again this saturday. Its 65 bucks of ingredients and I refuse to dump it. I just want to know if you guys think it will be drinkable or should I rebrew it also.
Thanks in advance,
Mike Schwind
