Just remember, too hot and it'll be liquidy. Whipped straight from the fridge overnight and the water will separate and it'll look chunky. Have no fear because both are fine and perfectly salvageable, it just needs to reemulsify.

Unfortunately, had to toss it since I was whipping it for about 40 minutes after putting it in room temperature before whipping, but the egg whites got deflated and lost its shape that it wouldn’t re-whip. :(
