Hello every one. New user to the forum.
I am getting ready to brew my first ipa. This summer has been very strange in Chicago where one day it's 68 and the next it's in the 80s. My apt is maintaining about 77 or 78 degrees. I'm a bit worried that the temp will be too high for my ale yeast to ferment. If the temp is to high will this kill the yeast or just slow the process down? I am using the basic bry-97 for this. Thought about a different yeast that could handle the higher temp but not sure that's a good idea as it may come out too bitter. Thoughts? Thanks!
