Ive got a IRS thats been fermenting for 2 days. Started fermenting 5-7 hours from when i pitched my starter. Had a real high active fermentation for the first day and a half to where i needed a blow off tube. Fermentation is slowly calming down. My question is, room tempature is a constant 70 degrees. My fermometer has climbed from 70 to 74 on my carboy. Should i leave it as is and let it do its thing or should i move it to a cooler room? Yeast im using is Whitelabs Dry English Ale WLP007 and my OG: was 1.094 if this helps.

drop it down to 62 - 65... great yeast selection

Thanks, do you know of any formula for getting my estimated final gravity?

use this calculator:

I really hate seeing the letters IRS this time of the year.

Me too...

Irritating . Reamer . Service

Pay your taxes and get tIRS out of your life.... Jeez it's a simple concept...

We always pay them and on time, but that doesn't mean its fun.

Sorry Dennis, didn't mean to get your thread off track.

Dennis, I'd leave it at this point but don't let it get any warmer. The majority of fermentation is done if there is any damage (off flavors) its already done. Next time try and keep it cooler and you will end up with a cleaner beer. No sure how forgiving 007 is but I have fermented in the low 70s with us05 and got away with it.

And that always leaves me wondering.

Good...

I was just getting ready to lay into you.
I will say, You can keep your cute comments to yourself from now on.

Say what you want.

Ohh I plan on it....

Dennis, have you move it to cooler spaces? Did it slow down a little? I really start worrying about developing fuesels (sp?) when it gets that warm.

yeah i moved it to a cooler room. its down to 68 and the fermentation has slowed way down. im just afraid of gettin a stuck fermentation if it gets too cold. i heard that this yeast is real hard to get going again if i do....

007 is a strong yeast and will handle the lower temperature

Ive heard the same thing. I guess i should be patient and see what happens. Its Between 64 and 68. Im getting bubbles every 5 seconds or so.

"I guess i should be patient and see what happens."

with an OG of 1.094 I'd say walk away and come back in a month.
