Got another newbie question. I've read about as much as I can to try answer my questions but every situation is different and I've read myself stupid.
Brewed second batch this past weekend, an autumn amber ale. I've got a lot of things I know I can do better, just having a hard time figuring out what those things may be. I pitched the yeast at 68 degrees and put in a closet with a damp towel. The temp was a 70 when in left for work the next day and had rose to 76 by the time I had gotten home 9-10 hrs later. I was able to get a tub that I couldn't get the first day and filled with water and ice bottles. The water temp has been at 60-65 for the last couple of days.
I know the rise in the temp wasn't a good thing but is it something that will throw off the flavor a lot? Is the temp it's holding at a good one? How long should it stay at that temp? Is there a certain amount of time it can ferment to get rid of any off flavors from the early high temps or will I be stuck with whatever happened already?
First batch had the same issues I think plus many others. But I think this time the temp has been much better regulated and lower with the water tub.
Any help is appreciated.
