Phenolics Question

Tue Jan 13, 2009 11:39 am

I brewed an IPA on Sunday and pitched at 68. It wasn't fermenting yet on Monday morning but when I got home in the evening it was fermenting strong but at 72 becuase of the warm weather :shock: I've since cooled it to 68. Will there be unwanted phenolics from the first 8 hrs of fermentation @ 72?
Enjoy Great Beer!

Depends upon the strain, but even then you're more like in that range to get more noticeable ester characters instead of phenolics.
