(Using Safale S-04 and almost 100% light DME)
So, I brewed Sunday evening, had the windows open, so I pitched cool: 66F.
Closed the windows around 9, and the beer sat overnight: 68-70F.
By the next night (24 hours after pitching) my landlord had the heat up in the apt: 83F.
Yesterday (48 hours after pitching) it had leveled off a bit: 75F.
The heat is now off: 68-72F. Back to normal ale temps.
I'll keep it in the primary for 3 weeks.
The question is, when does a yeast do what? Will this crazy temp spike at 24-48 hours cause off flavors? If so, which? Esters? Fusels?
