It's never really bad, but my feeling is that too warm temperatures make the cider taste bad.

So our fall is good, garage will stay between 50 and 60 (10 -15C) for fermenting, and a bit cooler for aging. 
 @87e0b6e2 @d8402a8b if your temperature isn't constant, you get fusel alcohols which taste bad.

Fusel doesn't sound good!

I am trying to keep around 15C, after it gets started. 
 @87e0b6e2 @d8402a8b they aren't that bad for you, they just taste like shit. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusel_alcohol 
 @60d98082 @87e0b6e2 never experienced that with cider... 
 @d8402a8b @87e0b6e2 standard brew lore. Try and keep the temperature constant and it'll give you a better tasting brew. 
 @60d98082 @87e0b6e2 i break all lore 
 @d8402a8b @87e0b6e2 you do you brother, if you're happy with how it turns out then that's all that matters. 
 @87e0b6e2 we don't even get that in winter!
