Did I goof?

[nursejohn]

I just started a batch of Mosti grapefruit blush. I am still a newbie and wonder if I goofed. I made the yeast starter per the instructions in the kit and added it, but forgot to check the temperature of the must. It was 84 degrees F. The instructions call for 70-76. Did I goof or will it be OK. Thanks for any advice.

Was is Lalvin EC1118? If so you should be ok since its high end temp is 95 and it is a pretty durable strain. Just keep an eye on it and I'll bet you check next time.

Yes, itwas EC1118, and yes you're right, I'll surely check next time. Thanks for helping out, I feel a lot better about this now.
