set it in the basement if you have one. 2nd option...run a fan on it if you can not regulate the room temp.

You could use a swamp cooler. http://www.brew-dudes.com/swamp-cooler-magic/287

Use a bucket full of water with a fan blowing across the water.

Turn the A/C down to 70? Is every room in your house 79 degrees? If not, move the fermenter.
Place fermenter in a cooler, mostly fill with water, in which you place a milk jug filled with frozen water, replace as needed. This is something you should havefigured out beforehand. |

I use a 3 gallon carboy in a 48 qt igloo cooler filled with about 4-5 inches of water in the bottom. I ferment in a closet with the door closed and switch out one 16 oz frozen water bottle in the water each day and stir the water around when I do. The temp of the water consistently stays around 65-66. Keep the house at 73 degrees this time of year btw. Also during the first few days when fermentation begins the inside of the fermentor will be a few degrees warmer than ambient due to the reactions going on inside. |

I have several thermometer iin my "beer room." And the strips on my fermenters. I use the regular thermometers. 71 is not "bad," unless you are lagering. Then, you'll have a "California Common" style beer. Get a book, by Palmer or Pappasian, read, if you want to do this regularly. It ain't rocket surgery. People been making beer for centuries. |

High fermentation temps on ale yeast WILL give off tastes to the brew. These are considered serious flaws and as stated should have been worked out before hand. Get the temps down NOW any way possible.

You need to keep it under 70 for ale yeast for the first few days to a week. I just use the low tech method, fermenter in a plastic laundry tub with water, add ice as needed.
