Home brew too warm?

Is there a sub forum for home brewing?!

I made a barrel of ale from a kit a few months ago and it was ruddy gorgeous!

I have another one cooling in the garage and made another last night.

I followed the instructions on the box but then wrapped my warm fermentation bin up in towels like I did last time when the weather was chilly.

However, it's not chilly now and perhaps I shouldn't have wrapped it up. The temperature of it is about 25 degrees C and it is continually bubbling. Literally. Not two or three seconds go by without it bubbling.

Have I fluffed it?!

    No, that is the initial ferment, plus of course the ambient temperature is now more higher for longer as the spring approaches

    It will calm down as the alcohol content increases and sugars get less to feed the yeast
