Post fermentation got way too hot

[calebgk]

I brew with two other guys. Our Simcoe IPA was done fermenting. One guy took his from the ferm chamber and kegged it up. For some reason, he didn't put the temp probe back in the chamber, and the controller kept the heat on. When we checked on it, it was already up to 109 F!

The beer had sat at 67F for 2 weeks. Ferm was done, but the temp would have slowly increased over about 3 days.

I'll just have to sample it and see, but I'm hoping this isn't going to kill, or drastically alter, the beer. If it does, I'm coming for his!

Any thoughts?

Might be ok. Maybe you are on to a new technique. Really if fermentation was finished it will be okay. Again that isn't ideal but it's not as bad as an infection etc.
