Temperature Fluctuation

[SansLune]

Hey All,
Another post here at fermentation, and I've brewed an Imperial Porter but in the first few days couldn't really control the temp, what do you think of this graph? Still salvageable?

What yeast strain was used? And does the plot represent wort temperature - or chamber temperature?

If it was wort temperature flirting with ~26.5C/~80°F peak that's already a less than ideal temperature plot but if that's chamber temperature the beer temperature could have been another 5°C/10°F higher. That could be Fusel City.

As this point you're pretty much stuck letting things run their course and hope for the best.
Good luck!

Yeah sorry, forgot to add that, I'm using the M44 from Mangrove, and it's the wort temp, I have a spindel in there. Opened it today, doesn't seem to have weird smells other than the usual porter ones

That's a case for cautious optimism
Stay the course and keep your fingers crossed...

Cheers!
