First time brewing this far into summer.. During brew, had problems chilling because well water was too warm.. had to pitch @ 71 degrees.. I live in the mountains so I left windows open at night in that room, and when I woke up in the morning it was a nice 67 degree and ferment had started..
Last night when I went to bed it was still 67-68 degrees... woke up this morning and it was at about 71-72... left for about 8-9 hours, and it's now at 74-75 degrees.. probably that way all day..
Two questions..
1) How much damage in as far as off flavors and fusels in that amount of time when you're at the peak of primary?
2) I just soaked the towel I had wrapped around each for light blockage in water, and re-wrapped the glass carboys.. and stuck a box fan on them... think this will help cool them back down?
I need to build me a ferment chamber in the worst way!
