Using a Brewer's Best EPA extact kit w/ Muntons dry yeast. My 2nd batch.
Pitched the yeast into the fermenter Monday night. Airlock going like crazy early Tuesday morning when I checked before work and still going when I got home.
Watched it for 5 minutes this morning, nothing. So 36 hours in the airlock seems pretty quiet.
The ambient temp in the basement was around 76-8 degrees, tried to chill the fermenter in a tub of H2O + ice but only knocked a couple of degrees off, according to the thermometer stuck to the pail.
Was the fermentation so active and brief due to the temp?
What flavors can I expect from fermenting @ 3-5 degrees too warm?
Thanks.
