The later sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the reply

Thanks for that.i have removed it from the heat and put it somewhere to cool down.will do as you say tomorrow. Not all bad though my first to brews were great.think complacency is creeping in .thanks again

During fermentation I took my eye off the ball my brew hit 40c what should I do .it's been in the fermenter for 3 days.should I rack it off the yeast and leave it.or is there no hope.
