I know this has been discussed but..Here's my go at it.
Brewed up my double IPA last friday and pitched that evening. Next morning fermentation was going. the fermometer said the temp was around 77 or so. I tried to cool it by running water in the tub but couldn't get it down much as things were going rather well in there. (or I didn't give it enough time. I didn't want to leave the cold water in there and stall the fermentation) The temp has dropped to 72ish by yesterday. (Sunday, so 1.5 days at higher temp)
It is a Double IPA with an OG of 1.091. Is it normal to have higher temps with higher OG?
Bad effects because of temp?
Anyone else have similar experiences?
