I just racked a belgium amber ale to primary about 11 hours ago. I pitched with a 2 litre starter that I made with 1 packet of Nottingham dry yeast. I have a very healthy and active fermentation already. Starters are awesome!! Anyways, I pitched at 80 degrees, the ambient temperature of my basement is 65 degress. The temperature of my fermentation vessel is remaining a constant 78 degrees since I pitched the yeast. Do you think this is too warm? Is the cause for this rise in temperature the result of the exothermic nature of a healthy fermentation? I don't want the off flavors resulting from a high fermenting temp. I can take measures to cool if necassary.
