Let's say I pitched BRY97 dry ale yeast into a 5 gallon batch of 1.062 brew at 80F for some reason. Then I placed the bucket into a bath tub filled with water that mysteriously drained over night.
I was able to get the drain to close all the way and have been feeding ice packs to the water bath 2x a day and the temp has been holding steady at around 64F (plus at least 4F from the active fermentation I'm sure)
Should I expect any off flavors from pitching at 80F and then getting the temp back down within the first 24 hours. Based off the bubbling from the blow off tube, I'd say fermentation didn't really start going until around 16 hours from pitching and the wort has been chilled to the mid 60's by that point?
