So i brewed a 1.050 beer which i splitted into 4 different 1 gallon fermenters to test different dry yeasts. I do water treatment, ph control, yeast food and rehydrate yeast. I put all of the beers into a swamp cooler.
A big heat wave hit the country and by about 24 hours after pitching the swamp cooler temperatures have risen to 75F.
I pitched US05, Lall. Windsor, MJ Burton Ale and MJ Belgian Ale. (I heat the latter with an aquarium heater to 90F since pitching)
The krausen dropped around 48 hours on all of them except for the Windsor and the US05 batch even cleared out, bubbles basically stopped everywhere by 72 hours except on the Windsor.
When I smell the neck of the carboys I can only smell a bit of sulfur and some citrusy stuff, no rotten fruit esters or anything. The fermentation is now on the fourth day, 3 of them looks finished except for the Windsor which still have some krausen.
Do you think the heat ruined my beers or I can still dryhop and bottle them?
Shouldn't my English strains smell like all kinds of fruits due to the high ferm. temp?
