Cali Common Warm fermentation

[lrizzo]

So I brewed a cali common on friday the 9th. I used california lager yeast with a starter. I left for vacation the next day and my apartment was in the low to mid 70's for the week.

What can I expect?
Is there any saving this batch?

If your worried about this beer being drinkable, don't sweat it. It should be plenty tasty.

It's not an ideal temperature to ferment at but it's still going to be fine. If you pitched an appropriately sized starter and it was fairly cool when you pitched, some of those expected off flavor may even be mitigated.

If you feel the beer is a bit off when you drink it, just give it a little more time to mellow and you'll probably be even happier with it.

I'm just worried it wont have that crisp malty lager flavor
