[Desa]

18 is what you're better off fermenting at anyway. 24 is too high, it'll produce esters and off flavours in your beer. It's obviously too late for this brew but for future brews if you can keep the temp around 18-20 you'll get much nicer beer. Also leave it in the fermenter for about a week after it finishes fermenting before you bottle it. [rightful]

No problems! Good luck with your brewing. [joyful]
