I know, I know, but I searched and didn't find what I was looking for, so here is my question:
Yesterday I brewed a Stone Enjoy By clone, I cooled it as far as I could (relatively warm tap water here, got it to around 74*) and pitched the yeast WPL007 with a 1L starter and vigorous fermentation took of within a couple hours, when I got up this morning I saw it had already climbed to 78*, so I put it in a ice bath, but today when I got home, it was still sitting steady at 78*, so at this point its sat at around that for 24 hours. I got it in a much bigger ice bath now and temps are starting to drop, and I will be sure to double up the ice tomorrow, but my question is how much damage have I already done? After dropping all that in hops, I was looking forward to a pretty impressive brew! I will still be double dry hopping it before bottling/kegging, but just wondering what kinda off flavors from the esters I should expect.
