So here in western PA we are having some weird fluctuations in weather. 30F one day 60F the next then down to 30F. Needless to say it becomes an issue with the temps in the house.
The beer is a stout and i was using California Ale liquid yeast.
When i pitched the yeast the wort was about 75F, and cooled down to about 72F over night.
I use a cooler for fermenting. Fermentation was not present for about 24 hours or so. When fermentation started the temp obviously started to rise and everything was going well.
I forgot to check this morning on the temp when heading out the door, but when i got home i found that the beer was about 80F. I put ice in and was able to cool the fermenting wort to about 75F in about 2 hours.
I can only suspect that the 80F was going on for about 24 hours or so.
being a noob, i know that temps are pretty crucial however @ 80F for 24 hours, what, if any, noticeable off flavors will show up? Do you think there will be any issues with the beer?
Thanks All
