Fermentation Question

I brewed a high gravity Wee Heavy PM and could not get it to ferment due to cold temps. The cold weather moved on and warmed up and the house warmed up to about 75 or 76 deg. the beer has spent it's whole fermentation at these temps is that going to hurt it? Also it came out as about 5.5 gallons and i didnt want to waste the beer so racked it into a 6.5 gallon carboy. Is the extra head space going to affect the beer?

What yeast did you use? The temp might affect the flavor a small bit. As for head space, you are 100% A OK!

The yeast was White labs Edinburgh Ale #02100

Well, That yeast is best at 64 - 70. You didn't miss it by much. Your beer will be fine. If ya don't believe me, I'll send you my shipping address *grin*

Yea and how many cases should i put ya down for. Anyways thanks for the confirmation. I guess i should just relax and have a homebrew.

Ahh, grasshoppa, you have just discovered the key to a life of happiness.

Might get some estery/fruity tones but shouldn't be overwhelming, might even like em. 76-80F for most of fermentation you will really start to taste it though.
