I have my First brew a pale ale sitting in the primary right now. Yesterday we had record temps around here it was almost 85 degrees. I had the primary at around 68 and fermentation was going good. After the record day when I got home from work it was almost 75 on the sticker thermometer, I immediatley wrapped a cool towel around it to help cool it down. The rest of the week around here is supposed to be back to normal for temps around 55 to 60 degrees for this time of year.
Anyways what is the downfall of temp fluctuations, the fermentation is still going good. Will it slow fermentation? Affect the taste? Thanks in advance for the input.
