Its was all going good til

This is my first time brewing ever, the batch I started Jan. 4th was BB American Light. It sat in fermenter for a full 5 days with a reading of 1.006 at transfer time to carboy. Its been in the carboy for 5 days now. The temperatures are usually 66-70 according to thermometer on carboy. Well I accidentally left my brew belt on and got the batch up to 79. The temp wasn't held for long maybe an hour tops. Am I screwed and did kill the yeast. I was going to bottle next Sunday and have my first beer on Sunday Feb 6, the super bowl. Will my bottles carbonate? Thanks in advance

You should be ok. 79F won't kill the yeast and since your active fermentation is over, it shouldn't impact the flavor.

I was wondering about my carbonation, would rather not drink flat beer.

Sure, it'll carbonate just fine once bottled.

It's going to taste great!! Enjoy.

I have left my brewbelt on overnight on accident and it got warmer than the fermometer would read. It was after active fermentation. Beer turned out great.

Thanks for feedback, I won't waste time worrying about it.

Best way to look at it for ale yeast is, if the temp isn't high enough to kill a human being then it's not high enough to kill the yeast.
