Hello All,

I started a batch of the tropical daze recipe a couple days ago per the recipe, and pitched QA23 into 76F must, which is a bit warm but not too hot... But overnight last night the fermenter was at 83F, and there was no new foam. The yeast is still going, but I had to leave for work before I was able to really do anything to remedy the situation. Bottom line, is this batch doomed or if I can cool it down will it just be a bump the road?

Thanks,
Ryan
 
Lalvin QA23 White Wine Dry 59-89 °F
(15-32 °C) 16% Portuguese isolate used for production of fresh, fruity, white wines. Will not give structure to a wine, but it excels at focusing the fruit either alone or as part of a blend.

still, if it was mine, I would feel a little more comfortable in a little lower in temp.

This is a link I used to get the info on your yeast strain:
