So I had put a 5 gallon batch of pale ale in my better bottle carboy on Saturday afternoon with Wyeast British Ale at around 70*F and the last 2 days it has been bubbling away and had a nice krausen head on it.
But today I came home from class and found the temp at 79*F. I quickly got a wet towel and wrapped it up with it and turned a fan on it to increase evaporation and cooled it down to 70* within 5 hours or so but now I have hardly any krausen on top. Do you think it is really almost done fermenting already?
It was 1.040 OG on Saturday, I just don't feel like it should be dying down like that. I'm going to wait a couple more days and take a hydrometer reading to see if it is done or stuck. I'm not too worried about it, but what do you guys think?
