I recently brewed a 13 gal batch OG = 1.055. It got really late and at some point I got tired at waiting for the immersion chiller to do its work. So I pitched a healthy, started batch of WLP001 when the wort was around 80-82 F and put the fermentor in a 64 F room. Next morning the wort temp was about 70-71 and the fermentation was vigorous. Could I have damaged the beer significantly?
And more importantly can I do anything to reduced/mellow potential off-flavours?
(The plan is to dryhop with Citra and Centennial)
