I'm trying to make a belgian IPA of sorts, and I'm using White Labs Belgian Golden Ale yeast WLP 570. I pitched last night around 10 and thought my fermenter was in a warm place but when I woke up this morning it was at 63-64 F and no fermentation happening.
I decided since it needed to be at 70-75 this was a disaster and I brought it upstairs, put a blanket on it and turned the heat up. When I came back 8 hours later, it is at 80 F! Now I am trying to cool it back to an acceptable level, at least by turning the heat down, but I'm wondering if these wild swings will ruin it.
Now it is bubbling very rapidly by the way.
