Hey everyone.
I just got myself a woodfords wherry brew kit as my first attempt at home brew as I hear the 2 tin kits are better tasting and don't need as much sugar. Anyway the kit says to keep the primary fermenting stage at between 18 & 20 degrees. However! It's hotter than haydees outside and the house is warm and I can't get the thermometer on the side of the fermentation bucket to go below 26!. Has this knackered my brew? Should I have waited for cooler weather before attempting my first brew?. Any info would be greatly recieved!
