Hi,
I'm trying to brew my first ale (Ale kit + tin of medium malt + sachet of dry ale yeast + 300gms sugar for the hell of it).
The temperature in the plastic keg has gone up to 25C and it is brewing like a steam train. However, the yeast advised brewing at 18 - 24C.
Will the higher temperature affect the flavour? Is the high temperature a result of fermentation? Should I move it to a cooler place?
Any tips or advice gratefully received.
Cheers,
Jim
PS. I looked for results of brewing at too high a temperature but could only find threads re too low a temperature.
