Should it make much diff?..... I tasted out of the fermenter and seems ok to me...

Maybe a little more fruit profile... anyone have any experiences?
 
haha, not stalking you juzz - :lol: I see the reason for your other post. I once fermented Wyeast 1084 Irish Ale at 25 degrees when I lost my temp control and couldn't get it down. After about 36 hours I wrestled it down to about 22 and it finished in 3 days with a surface as flat as a millpond. Now the Irish is another one of those real clean finishing yeasts and it turned out the best Irish Red I've ever made, still trying to replicate it.

If there's no off flavours at this stage I wouldn't be too worried.. what is the current temp?

Ha!
Thanks Bribie, Temp is sitting @ 20c at the moment..

Waiting on my temp controller so i can wire up an old freezer during summer :)
One hot day and .... BANG, fermenter sitting @ 25c :-(

Will probably set the temp on the controller to 20c as thats probably a good mid point.

Thanks for your help (again)
 
Hey mate I've had this happen to me a few times and the end results really depend on what stage fermentation was at. I've had a bit of extra fruit esters when it's been early on, and found raising the temp at the end of ferment about 3 degrees higher than your normal ferment temp will help to round out those esters a bit. Haven't been able to get rid of them totally yet but have managed to make them quite palatable in conjunction with some nice fruity hops
 
+1 to more esters, it could end up masking your malt profile and/or hop aroma, I would get it down to high teens if possible.
