Hi Anthony,

Some stouts really do ferment fast (sounds like you had lot of yeast nutrients and it was well aerated :clap: ). Fast ferments can get generate quite a lot of heat as you have found out!

SO4 is a 'good yeast' and I would not expect you to have problems with taste in a stout despite the high temp overnight - apart from which, the roasted flavour will probably dominate anyway.

It'll be fine :thumb:

There are award wining commercial breweries that ferment with SO4 at 26C, so they must be doing something right.

You seem to be on top of things now.

Chill and let the yeast do its thing :thumb:
