I just brewed an oatmeal stout on Sunday afternoon. I checked it Monday around noon and it was chugging away with a nice krausen on top. However, I noticed it was at ~80F. I don't yet have a way to control temperatures while fermenting so I draped it with a wet towel and covered it back up(protection from light). The temperature is now at 68-70F and everything has slowed down. I can still see "movement" so I know it's still working away.
My question is was that early rise in temperature enough to ruin my batch.
Thanks for any input you can give me!
Cheers!
