My temperature control system didn't work

[Stevol]

Help, it's currently 14c in my house at the moment so I set up a portable heater to help my yeastie friends. Unfortunately overnight this got my fermenter up to 34c, I know, omg. It must of been that temp for 12 hours 6 hours after pitching! I can't be sure. Is this batch a write off or will dropping the temperature to normal fix it?

if its the first day it will be fine, but after 2 or 3 just leave it

I'm thinking that too, after all the threads I've read about temperature and fusel alcohol I started to worry. This is my Christmas brew with filtered water and sparkles added. I'd be upset if it's wrong. I might brew a back up ��

I think I would brew the backup.
I once accidentally heated a Belgian Strong over 84f, but it turned out well. What yeast were you using?

I did that exact same thing with a Schwartzale w 1056. Temp prob came off and was laying on the floor. Was in the 90s the next morning and was set for 64. Cooled it down and it kept chugging along. Turned out good. Just a bit fruitier than was planning.

Brew the backup and fingers crossed on this one. Might be fine especially if you are patient with it, but by time you are sure it will be too late so brew backup now if you were counting on special home brew for your holiday.

Not so sure on the yeast, I'm no expert but from what I have read online it's a repackaged Nottingham strain.

This morning it's chugging away at a steady 19c hopefully the shock horror start for my yeastie Friends will just make them stronger 😂😂
