Hi all!
I looked all over the forums and couldn't find anything on this so I apologize if this has already been discussed. I have a pale ale that I will be dry hopping in a few days. Here is my question. I primaried at 63ish because I've heard that the yeast I used tastes awful above 65 (I used Safale S-04 by the way). Given that I don't have a fermentation chamber yet, (should be arriving soon.) I have been using my keezer to maintain the temperature. However, I need to free up space for a brown ale I recently brewed. Assuming fermentation is complete, when I transfer to the secondary to dry hop, can I store it at a higher temp (like 68) without imparting off flavors or any other unwanted effects? Thanks in advance for all your help.
