I'm currently dry hopping a saison (~2.5 gallons) with .75 oz of Saphir hops. I started on Saturday, and was letting them sit in the 70-74 range in my basement...that is till Monday when the heatwave came in and slowly rose it to 76 and finally to 78 yesterday.
I originally planned to let the beer sit on the hops for 14 days, but I know that dry hop aromas generally are extracted faster at higher temperatures.
My question is can I go ahead and bottle this on Saturday or should I wait another 7 days?
Also, is there any harm with the higher temperatures in actually losing hop aroma?
