So... I have brewed the infamous Breakfast of Champions oatmeal stout and according to the recipe, it is to ferment at 68*. Well... mine has not. Although my basement is at the perfect temperature, I failed to account for the heat produced during fermentation and did not catch it for approx. 36 hours. Since then during the primary... with my crazy schedule, the temps fluctuated between as high as 73/74 and a low of 66 (when I was able to get the wet towel and fan blowing on it consistently).
...and here is what I am wondering...
Does anyone have any ideas how this may change the flavor or any other attribute of this stout?
