Pitched two packs of Lalvin EC1118 on about 4.5 gals of cyer @ 1.110 gravity. Initial temp was mid 70's and it hasn't coole down in two days. It started active fermenation in the blow off (never did a big mead batch so I wasn't sure if I would need it) within 3 hours. It's in a room that is 69-71 degrees mostly and I've got wet towels and a fan on it. The yeast says it works up to even higher temps, but I wonder if this is bad for the mead. Most threads I read mentions weeks and weeks of slow active fermentation, and I worry this will be done too quickly.
