I've recently been listening to the Jamil show ( http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/jamil.php ) and he states that he ferments almost all of his ales at 68F and that anything over 70 can affect the flavor of the beer. My first AG is fermenting at 72F right now. A couple of questions:
1. Is it a big deal that I'm 4 degrees over "ideal temps" ?
2. Is there an easy way to drop the temp?
Right now my beer is sitting in my basement and it's a pretty constant temp.
Thanks for your replies!
