It was up to 75 degrees in the house today. That is hot here in San Diego. I wouldn't care really, but the upper end for the yeast strain I used in the scottish ale I brewed yesterday is 75 degrees. I am hoping that it isn't going to leave undesirable phenols and fruity esters that make it less than what I had hoped for. I was so thrilled with the mash yesterday and everything went so well. It will cool down tonight, but if it warms up tomorrow I may have to move it to the coolest room off the garage and keep the kids out of there. Bummer. I was hopeful that it would be the best beer ever. Time will tell. It is fermenting like crazy. All is not lost as the range is 64-75. Hopefully the air temperature only raised the liquid to maybe 73 or 74. I can hope.
The WOD tomorrow will be fun as I won't get to it until after story time with Tessie and it will smack in the heat of the day.

18:06 which included a little time looking for Tessie because Drew said "Gary I don't see Tessie." She was in the bathroom playing in the sink.
