The room where my fermentors are in got pretty hot for a few hours 3 days in a row, i'd say 80 degrees, not going to happen again, i have a AC in there now.
It got hot during the first few days of fermentation, It's been 3 weeks now, the beer smells like varnish and paint thinner, i read it's because of fusel alcohols that were caused because the temp. got too hot, and i can't really find an answer on this, can it be salvaged? should i bottle it or throw it? If the beer is drinkable even with that smell will it be poisonous? I can drink a bottle of St Ides that's been sitting in the sun with the lid off for 2 days but i don't want to poison myself! Thanks!
