Hi everyone,
I could definitely use some help from people who have dealt with this strain before...
I just made a Pale Ale(yesterday) and pitched a 1L starter of 1056 in at 72 degrees. Since, the stick on thermometer has continued to read 72 degrees and fermentation has definitely kicked in (visually via the airlock). My worry is that this it too high, although the company lists fermentation temp at 60-72. Unfortunately, I am traveling for business and wont be home for a week to make a swamp cooler and drop the temp. My buddy has gone over and at least placed the bucket in some cold water and will likely put some ice in over the next few days. My question is- Should I expect some off flavors or alcohol taste since this was a high fermentation? Or, since I am having a friend take action to at least lower it a bit, am I fine because I am catching it early?
