ay yay yay!
I pitched my Belgian Dark Strong at 75 degrees, the next few days we had a little heat wave, I keep my brews in a small cool closet. but during those days i noticed the ambient temp in the closet got to 72, then 74, then i think i remember seeing 76 at one point.
4 days after pitching the ambient temp went back to the mid 60's and a week later ambient temp is 60 degrees... UGH what luck
OG was 1.086 and SG after 1 week is 1.026
i drank the sample from my thief and theres an apparent banana flavor and a slight fusel burn.
did i F this batch up? were getting another heat wave this weekend with outside temps projected to hit the 90's
should I macguyver up a bucket with cold water in preperation or is it too late to save this beer now?
