Fermentation help

[kbrew73]

I brewed a red kolsh ale and it's recommended fermentation temp is 58 - 62. It's around 68 will it turn out ok or can I get some suggestions

Hard to say really, depends of a number of factors, I suggest you record every step of process and then do anouther batch at the lower scale of fermentation temp and compare.

Where is it fermenting? Can you cool it down (put ice bottles around it)? If the yeast is maxed out at 62 you might get some off-flavors. What yeast are you using?

I'm using us-05 dry yeast and its in the basement. I'm new to this and have brewed 4 ales and they have all been great. And I would like this one to be great as well

I brewed two different batches today and the air lock on one is already bubbling the batch that requires a lower temp hasn't had any response at the moment
