First of all, welcome! We're all here to help each other out. If your beer is fermenting at 66-67*, that won't be a problem. If your yeast is working, no worries. Just enjoy the process and don't stress about it, and everything will turn out fine.

hey: thanks steve i won"t sweat the temp.... but will it affect the taste?? sorry i'm chopin at the bite . And......... is a malt beer the same as a wine like beer... AHHHH....seagrams?? you know what i"m talkin about......the new RAZ ... just like a sweet beer?? :confused:

The temp won't affect the flavor that much. It won't be as fruity/estery as if you fermented at 70*. In my opinion, however, 68* is about the optimal fermentation temp. for most ale yeasts. As far as the rest of your question, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Happy Brewing.
