You'll definitely get off flavors fermenting at such a high temp. My last batch was an American wheat. I used US-05 and I let the fermometer get up to 74. This is the first batch I've kegged and it definitely has some off flavors, kind of like a band-aid smell/taste. I'm hoping it subsides soon, since it's been in the keg for three weeks now. Anyways, for my latest batch, I'm using the swamp cooler method, but instead of using a wet t-shirt, I just filled the bucket above the level of my wort. By putting frozen water bottles in the tub two or three times a day, I'm able to keep my water temp at 62-65 and my fermometer is reading a steady 64-68. I sure hope this makes a difference in my beer. And yes, although submerged, the fermometer is still somehow working.
