Fermentation got away from me a bit. Funny, i initially used my new cooler bag to get my brew cool enough to pitch. I got it down to mid 60's and pitched. Seeing it mid 60's, I was confident it would be fine at ambient temps. After work, i saw it rise to 78 and was giving off some banana. I did cool it again but there were still banana esters coming through. Fermentation is complete - went from 1.090 to 1.010. A little Banana rocket fuel never killed anyone, right?
