I am brewing the Austin Homebrew honey wheat partial mash. It's my seventh batch.
I cooled it to 70 with my wort chiller and then added the dry yeast (SafBrew T58). I then put the fermenter on my basement floor (basement is around 70 degrees, floor is a bit colder).
I just checked and it's bubbling away but the temp is 79 degrees. I've never had a beer ferment this hot. Should I attempt to chill it back to the 70 range where I normally ferment at or will 79 be ok? The yeast is obviously working, maybe it's the honey that's making it go nuts and raise the temp that much?
Confused...
