This summer, as always where I live, it is going to be upwards of 100 degrees during the day. Now normally I would refrain from brewing until October, but this year is special because I have a blichmann 55 gallon boilermaker, a 140 gallon refrigerated milk tank (perfect for fermentation), and a lot of free time.
Now, the plan is to brew the beer, ferment it in the cool milk tank at about 68 degrees, and then do some dry hopping. I have heard that as long as the beer does the majority of the fermentation at the correct temperature, it can be stored at high temperatures without any impact on the flavor. But maybe I am misguided.
The question is: can I brew a batch, ferment it at 68 degrees until it has reached the final gravity, and then dry hop the beer in a separate container without any undesirable flavors resulting from storing the beer at high temperatures?
