I just bottled my first batch of beer yesterday evening - Northern Brewer's Nut Brown Ale + 1 lb brown sugar as per comments. After being convinced I ruined it somehow I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was pretty tasty when I took a sample. Needless to say that I'm excited!
And today... my AC is out. Again. Called some people and yelled at them, but I doubt my landlords will get it fixed before Tuesday. It's likely to hit 85-90 in here during that time.
So now the question: My precious beers are supposed to be carbonating, but what happens if they get too hot?! Can I stash them in the fridge so the yeast go dormant, or should I just hope that at this stage they are pretty resilient?
