So I brewed a kolsch yesterday. I pitched my yeast at about 11pm. I am using wyeast 1007 german ale. I realize its not the best kolsch yeast, but its all that was in stock at the LBS.
I ferment in a heated and cooled temperature controlled mini fridge. I accidentally left the temp probe outside the fridge when I closed it after pitching.
Fast forward 12 hours and the heater has been running all night (ambient temp is upper 40s...) The wort temp was 105 degrees today.
It is bubbling away. I have it cooling appropriately now.
I would let it go and see how it turns out, but it is for a friends wedding, and if its likely going to be off, I will just dump it and re-brew this week.
I only have one temp controlled fermenter and need to push a few beers through as quick as possible.
TLDR; over night after pitching at 100 degrees, will this ruin the beer?
Thanks.
