Yeast starter gown in the mid 90s

Has anyone proporgated yeast in 90 degree room? Is so what was the effect on the beer. I am trying to diagnose off flavors and this is where I think it i went wrong. My IPA tastes like a belgium.

This is way too hot. Do you use a stir plate? Recommended are 20 - 22C. The stir plate raises the liquid temperature by another 2 - 3C.

Yes, I use a stir plate and I also live in Singapore (one degree north of the equator=hot as hell). I am thinking about putting the yeast starter and my stir plate in the temp controlled fermenter frig. I am not sure if the high heat is creating too many ester or immature yeast cells.

That did the trick. My Zombie Dust turned out near perfect.
