Primary Fermentation (too warm?)

[av8torx]

Hi, This is my 6th kit. All has gone well so far. Now its summer in Utah and I make the mistake of doing my primary fermentation upstairs where I have all winter. The temperatures got in the mid 80s for sure. Its day 3 and the airlock is still bubbling. I moved it to the basement where the temperatures should stay in the mid 70s. Did I screw this kit up by having it ferment for 3 days in the mid 80s? I am doing a Lodi Ranch 11 Eclipse Cab. Any help would be appreciated. Also it has the grape skins which I am supposed to stir daily. I will miss a few days of stiring it. I wouldn't think that will hurt me too bad.


Thanks Dave

I think you will be fine. If you used the kit yeast it can handle the 80s. It will probably ferment quicker but that's okay.

You will have no problem from the temp.

Thanks fellas! I've got it back to 75 degrees now.
