Fermenting above 80F degrees

[BeerPal]

I know that fermenting at high tempertures probably won't produce award winning beers but how bad is it for beer? I live in the hottest place on earth and I've been brewing in hot conditions like 75 - 85F.

No chance you could use a temperature controlled refrigerator as a fermentation chamber? Life's too short to drink anything but great beer.

I don't recall much in teh way of banana in Lil Sumpin, the banana clove character is typically associated with German Hefes, and it is
the yeast producing those flavors more than the wheat itself.

Ok. That makes sense. Your right, no banana in Little Sumpin.

I have an old kegerator that holds at 40F but the thermostat doesn't work. Are there any DIY temp controllers I could apply to the kegerator. I'm on the cheap right now but I would also love to make a better beer.
