So I've got a 3 day-old brew and the temp was 70 in my basement when I set it up. The weather has been a bit warmer outside today and my basement is at 77. I had signs of fermentation 9 hours into pitching the yeast, but it seems to have stopped at this point, and I'm worried this is because the temp is so high.
The temp should likely go back down and stay around 70 over the next days (according to forecasts, and usually my basement is much cooler than this).
I can't control temps in my house as we don't have AC, so basically it's at the mercy of the outdoors (windows open often).
So, question is, will my beer keep fermenting despite the current temp, and will everything be better back down at 70 or am I currently causing some not-so-reversible damage to the brew?
