Hello All,
First time poster here, but have been lurking for awhile. I did a search but can't seem to find the answer I'm looking for. I pitched a 1.6L starter in 5 gals at 85 deg. Now I had read that high temps was a good thing with 3724. So with my brainstorm I set the fermenter on a heat pad and wrapped a blanket around it. Within the hour, fermentation was rippin' and snortin'. Now almost 30 hrs later, nothing........not even a burp. I checked the gravity and sure enough 1.035, just like I had read. My issue I think, is I have let the temp get way too high. The wort is 98 degrees! Have I screwed the pooch and killed the yeast? On the bright side, wort has a nice orangeish hue to it and actually tasted pretty good. Thanks for any help you can provide. And again I apologize if this has been discussed already.
