So, uh... I sort of built this automatic heating rig using a tilt bluetooth thermometer/hydrometer, google app script and IFTTT connected to a Wink smart power strip which has a 40W heating element plugged in.
Basically, I do an internet and it automatically turns the heater on an off to maintain whatever temp I want.
It worked perfectly through fermentation and my beer ripped through and stopped at 1.008. Cool. I let it sit for another week and then slowly used my rig to warm the beer up from fermentation temp (65 degrees) to a nice diacetyl rest temp (72 degrees).
Well, my internet goofed and the app crashed right after turning the heater on and it has been on for the last 36 hours. I just caught it and shut it down remotely.
I'm at work and don't have a current temperature on the beer, but for worst case scenario's sake, I'm betting it may have gone above 80 degrees. So, my newb question is, how bad did my internet ruin my beer?
