Okay so as the title says, i would like to know if i have heavily changed the flavours of my beer...thats the story:
I've bought a woodforde's sundew kit 3 days ago. I did everything as per intructions and cleaned everything perfeclty, 2 days ago, when i did the 23liters buckets, i pitched the yeast in it at a temperature of 25-24° C. And everything went fine as usual, after 3-5hours the fermentator started "bubbling" with strong and regular bubbles and delay times...from 24hours after the yeast pitching, the temperature dropped at 19-21° C degrees (wich is perfect for this kind of beer) i covered the fermentator with a tovel to protect from the sunlights and went out for the whole day, but the temperature in the house has grown up and my fermentator signaled a temperature of 24-25° C. So, i moved the fermentator in a cooler room, and now the termometer on it, it's showing 22° C.

My question is: if my Ale, was fermenting for 24 hours at a temperature of 24-26° C, and now it's on its own stable and ideal temperature of 18-21° have i ruined my beer in these 24hours?
 
Probably not. But you should not to fluctuate the temperature too much. Even if it's in the temperature window. Yeast will get stressed.
You're probably ok. Just try to keep it stable from here on out.
 
I reckon you'll be fine too mate, let us know. Before my brew fridge was built I fermented in the house with no ill effects I could note just try and keep it stable.

I had a recent AG brew - mild - that I accidentally let get too warm in the FV. The result was ok - well drinkable at least. Some fruity ester flavours, but these either faded with time or I got used to the taste.
 
Yea the temperature its perfect now, 20° C stable, but it doesnt bullbles fast as usual, i'm getting a "bubble" every 40seconds.... wich is very slow o,o or maybe it's just the type of beer :eek: that does a low excess of co2 during fermentation stage
