I made a simple pale ale for my first brew in around a year over the weekend.
I used Safale-05 yeast and pitched around 75-80 as it was extremely hot on Saturday and I wasn't able to get it any lower.
I left Saturday night and turned off the AC in my house, but left the carboy in the basement. I didn't really think that turning off the AC in the house for the day would raise the temperature down there too bad.
I got home yesterday to an extremely hot house, upstairs was around 85. I think the basement was around 82 maybe even 85? And this was at night so I have no idea how hot it got during the day.
I saw some very limited krausen and some bubbles in my blowoff bucket. This morning I checked on it again and it appears to have completely fallen off. Think I should just re-hydrate and pitch another packet onto this tonight?
I am sure this info is available if I scour the forum but it's monday morning and i'm being lazy.
thanks in advance!
