Hi All,
I brewed an English IPA yesterday, and I racked on top of a yeast cake. I chilled the wort to 67 put it in my fermentation chiller set at 67 and when I woke up this morning it was fermenting to all hell and the temp was @ 80 Degrees( I flamed a therometer and stuck it into the airlock hole).
I took the bucked outside to garage and put a fan on it to cool it down back to 68, it took about 2 hours. Do you think there will be any ill side effect from the brief fermentation at that high of a temp i.e: fusel?
I've racked to a yeast cake many times but never seen this vigorous of a fermentation.
Thanks
