So I just bought a 2 stage kit from a LHBS, brewed up their Belgian Wheat kit, and placed it into the fermentation bucket right before leaving on vacation.
Well I am out of town and just found out earlier today the Air Conditioning went out ( day 5 in primary ) and the beer is sitting in an 85 degree house and the A/C will not be fixed until tomorrow, I do not return home for another 4 days, and I don't trust my younger bro-in-law to adequately handle my growing beer-child.
I've read this is definitely outside proper fermentation temps....how bad will this impact my beer's flavor? Or is there anything I can do on my return to help eliminate any off flavors that will probably develop? I can't remember the specific yeast I pitched since it was generic to the kit and I was too excited to focus on it, it was a dry ale yeast is all I remember.
Thanks for the input in advance.
