Even 70F is too hot, IMO... I'd shoot for 66-68F max.
I brew in my garage and don't use a swamp cooler.. I know I should really invest in a fermentation chamber just haven't had the time or the money to do so.... I've read that people put a wet towel around the carboy... I think it might be too late? Today will be the 5th day of fermenting

If you ferment at 64 with Ale yeast, and let it sit at that temperature for a couple of weeks (I typically let my beer ferment for 3 weeks) wont the Diacetyl be reabsorbed? I thought it was more of a problem with Lagers, that are fermenting at 50 or below.
