Yes put heat belt on the fermenter and attach to programmed controller and wrap yoga mat over the fermenter

I live in Mt Victoria and agree you need a temperature controller to regulate the temperature of your fermenter. also a cheap yoga mat from Big W wrapped around your fermenter will help with keeping the temperature stable in conjunction with the heat belt and controller.

You do mean hydrometer don't you?

If you must have a refractometer then you also must have a hydrometer or when you measure fermenting wort with a refractometer you must know your Original Gravity and consult a chart to find out the true gravity of the fermenting wort.

Have you checked both your scales and your pH meter, they may be inaccurate.

How are you checking it is not fermenting? Hydrometer or just no bubbling from airlock?

yes please

count me in

I am in. My current Inkbird works perfectly.

have you ever boiled kaffir lime leaves and tasted the result?

You will destroy the fresh apple taste if you boil the juice. I just ferment using enough of the cider yeast.

do you have a hydrometer? the only way of knowing what your ferment is actually doing.

You do know that if you use a refractometer to measure gravity of fermenting wort you have to use a conversion table to find the correct gravity. Alcohol distorts the refractometer reading.

Are you using a hydrometer or a refractometer to measure your gravity.

How was your measuring container calibrated? Did you actually weigh the full container to verify its accuracy?

Did you reduce the juice by boiling? This is not a good idea as it will give a stewed fruit flavour to the cider.

Go and see a doctor rather than somebody here diagnosing your issue.

You could try one of these. https://www.craftbrewer.com.au/gravity-filter-connector Large tube goes over tap and attach beer line and disconnect to other end

What are you using to measure your FG? Hopefully a hydrometer. A refractometer does not accurately measure FG.You need to use a correction table.

I cant understand why you want to use a yeast which will perform in a way which you find unsuitable.
