I've been making kit wines for several years. I've always recognized that fermentation will raise the temp slighty, However, I just started a CC Old Vine Zin which ready took off. I ferment in an ambient of 72 - 74 F* which may, based on my prior experience result in the must getting to around 76 - 77 F* .
I use the stick on thermometers on my fermentors so I was surprised to see my Zin go past the 78 max these register. It got significantly warmer than any batches I had previously made. My guess was somewhere in the low 80's.
Has this trashed my Zin?
