I started a 3.5g batch 10 days ago. It didn't do much the first week (only went from ~1.125 to ~1.110 and stalled for a few days) so I added an energizer and the airlock finally started bubbling and it seems like it took off. So it's been a couple days, but after reading some things, I realized that the yeast I used - D47 - is a really nitpicky yeast temperature-wise (which I didn't know before :/ ) and my apartment's temperature is above its recommended range (mine's usually in low to mid 70s...thanks Texas). I just put it in a tub with some water and will throw some ice packs in it to keep it cool (swamp cooler).
But, did I screw myself here? Is it still early enough where a lot of fusels probably weren't produced, or will that beginning spike after the energizer result in a lot of them? I'm a little worried/annoyed that I didn't think of this before starting and potentially ruined my batch
