Yeah, think it was 27 not 37. Temp inside the fridge basically, not up against the side of the bucket.

Should I just prime and bottle this ASAP then, seeing as its seemingly done already? Probably bad to leave it sat on all that dead yeast?
If you used dry yeast it is unlikely you will get any fusel alcohol, let it finish for another week then bottle. Just be aware when yeast starts to feed they create energy which in turn creates heat so the centre of the fermenter will be hotter. Set your fermentation a bit lower 18C is ideal. If you don't want a thermowell get some Gorilla tape, it sticks like tish to a blanket.
