Hello all, I brewed a Pale Ale Monday night (9\5) and left to go out of town on Friday morning (9\9). I got back home late Sunday night (9\11) to find that my A\C had broken while i was gone (not sure when). I do remember the air working friday morning when i left but that's it... no idea when it went out. The small bathroom where I ferment my beer was at 80 degrees...(gasp)
Now with my A\C issue corrected and the beer back to temp, I'm worried about any off flavors i might get (I know, RDWHAHB). I just picked up some wet hops to dryhop with so i'll be tasting my batch when a rack to my secondary.
My question is, what should i look for when i taste to tell me if i need to dump my batch and start over? Am i totally screwed or is there still hope? Thanks again everyone for your help
