so yesterday i made a new batch of Ed Worts Amber Ale. I drained the wort at about 80 dg into my fermentation bottle that sits in my converted chest freezer. The temp inside was 45 dg. its been cold here this week, so I was worried that it would get too cold to ferment with Nottingham if i turned on the freezer . so i pitched last night about 5:00 pm wort was about 70 dg. I closed the lid, but did not turn on the freezer. well i just got home, and its bubbling alright, but wort temp is 90 dg. not sure why its so hot. guess i should have turned on the freezer. Am i screwed and should dump it ??. I just turned on the freezer down to 40 dg so it should cool it.not sure if its too late in the cycle. the krusin did not look thick, mostly like dish soap bubbles. Am i screwed ??
