    I recently brewed a 13 gal batch OG = 1.055. It got really late and at some point I got tired at waiting for the immersion chiller to do its work. So I pitched a healthy, started batch of WLP001 when the wort was around 80-82 F and put the fermentor in a 64 F room. Next morning the wort temp was about 70-71 and the fermentation was vigorous. Could I have damaged the beer significantly?
    And more importantly can I do anything to reduced/mellow potential off-flavours?
    (The plan is to dryhop with Citra and Centennial)

    Won't be the best beer you'll ever make, but it will be beer. RDWHAHB!

    Take a sample for SG at day 14. This will be your first taste to see how the ferment progressed. The beer may need a little help from extra time in primary. Don't rush it.
