I brewed a Weiss beer last night, everything was going well, Pitched the WLP300, put it in my keezer that i'm using as a temperature controlled fermenter (my apartment is always hot). I set the Johnson Controls dial to 65F and went to bed. I get up, open the lid on the keezer and smell bread yeast. I took the temperature with my digital thermometer and it read 81F! There was also a very high Krausen.
Two questions:
Is it ruined? I'm aiming for a Schneider Weiss taste. The last time I tried a Weiss I fermented it too high and it tasted like bread yeast I ended up throwing it out. It has only been about 16 hours at 81F.
Is it strange that my Johnson Controls temperature regulator is about 20 degrees off? Do they calibrate it for free?
