Too warm for Windsor?
I have an Old English/Strong Ale in the fermenter since yesterday afternoon using Danstar Windsor,pitched @ 64.5*f.Good activity,in just hours,foam began to form.Had a good head this morning and really rocking this afternoon.Except that it has gone from 67*f(morning)to 75*f(late afternoon).Room temp.is 68*f.Danstar Windsor Dry Ale Yeast optimum range is 64*f-70*f.Should I be worried?
You gonna stop whinin' 'bout that beer,or you gonna send it to me?

I would put the carboy in a large cooler full of water and lay a towel over it.
This will drop the temp by several degs.
I've done this several times works great.
You want to keep the yeast in the middle to bottom if it's range.
