Rookie home brewer here, three days in to my first brew using an American
IPA kit. The airlock started bubbling about 18 - 20 hours in and after three days I have about an inch of foam in my fermenting bucket, stored in a 68 degree dark room.
My question is I fear the wort was not cool enough when I added the yeast and while I stirred vigorously in subsequent reading I could have done more. The wort was between 82 and 84 degrees (instructions said under 85 was ok) when yeast was added. So, even though the fermentation appears to be going well should I be concerned? is there any remedial action I should take at the end of 14 days (or now) to correct the cooling issue?
