Okay, all you lagerers (?) out there, a problem: I brewed my Oktoberfest last Wednesday then went away for a few days. While I was gone, something triggered the ground fault on the circuit my refrigerator runs on. When I got back, the fridge had warmed to 68°. I'm expecting more esters than usual but a question to others who lager: Is the beer irreparably damaged and should I start over?
I'll continue to work with the beer and let you know the results of this inadvertent experiment in high-temp lager primary fermentation.
