Started my second batch yesterday. I sort of screwed up and pitched the rehydrated yeast at around 80 degrees. It's a true brew amber all malt. Within 6 hours had a very vigorous fermentation. Good thing I was using a 1inch blowoff tube from my carboy or this thing would have blown for sure, lots of krausen and gas coming out. My question is what are the ill side effects of starting a batch when pitching yeast at this temp, will I have any problems? BTW the blowoff jug smells awesome, sweet and malty. Thanks for any advice. Also temp is 72 degrees now and getting a burp every 1-1 1/2 seconds. I'm about 24 hours in to the fermentation now.
