This is my first time brewing all grain. Currently attempting to brew a American pale ale and enjoying the process..!
Everything has gone well this far, I mashed, lautered, sparged, boiled, steeped, cooled and pitched with no problems last monday. 7 days ago.
In order to maintain a temperature in the room my fermentation vessel was residing in I set up a system using a wireless temperature tag, a wemo switch, IFTTT and an electric fan heater. All has been going well for a week with the temperature being maintained between 18 and 20 degrees c. Last night however when I was not home Zoe thing went wrong and the fan heater didn't turn off and the temperature got up to 27 degrees. I noticed the issue a few hours later and remotely turned off the heater. The temperature logs show that for 9 hours, the room temperature was over 20 degrees.
I was gutted this morning so have been searching the internet to garner opinion to determine if I should bin my beer. The yeast data sheet for safale s-04 says that fermentation temperatures should be between 12 and 25 degrees but ideal temperatures are between 15 and 20. My temperature data shows the room temperature exceeding 25 degrees for 5 hours. So will this 5 hours have ruined the beer?
Thoughts and comments appreciated. Thanks.
