High ferm temp

[brewboy04]

I made my is AG the other day and it went ok, effiancy was 67 what I thought was ok for my 1st batch , anyway I pitched the Nottingham yeast at 73( I know it was a little high) and has been fermenting around the 70 mark for 5 days, how long should I keep in the primary and are these temps ok?

Whats the style and recipe? A rough guide for ales is 2 week primary and 1 week secondary or better yet 3 weeks primary and no second

It's an Caledonian IPA from A book I bought, 3 kg pale malt
0.170 kg chocolate malt
0.97 wheat malt

50 g crusader hops ( 90)
17 g Syrian hops ( 15)

Leave it in primary atleast 3 weeks it'll be ok, that is decent efficiency for your first we all improve as we move along.

Next time try and keep temps in mid to lower 60's for ale
