Hello All,
First off thanks for your wisdom, I have been brewing for a year and my success has been in great part to all of your awesome wisdom. Thanks.
So with this heat wave the past week my ability to ferment my lager at a reasonable temp has gone out the window. I was away on business for the past week got home and in Buffalo we are normally maxing out around 55-50 F this time of year. I left my lagers in a place where it holds those temps well. I come back and its 75f highs . My lagers were finished fermenting, i don't have the ability to cold storage so i was going to let them go a month at 50ish to finish up and now the temps are out of control. I put them in a water bath and have been adding ice (and anything else i can find that is cold).
I used Wyeast 2206 Bavarian lager yeast for a Schwarzbier and a Stout i was doing with lager yeast, what kind of off flavors should i be expecting?
And If i bottle them right now will it do me any good?
Thanks in Advance!
( I feel like the only idiot in Buffalo complaining about the awesome weather....)
