Hi guys
Have put down my first brew and was wondering on what the wort will maintain as a temp on its own...
The reason is ive been fairly nazi on the temp and have been flicking between the fridge and the belt like a loon.....I even went out to the brew shed at 2am this morning becasue i thought it might drop to far ( i live in the middle of tassie and we still are having frosts in the morning here....) sad i know ...but i think im enjoying brewing
I spose i should give a quik run down of the setup..i have a Glass fronted fridge(working) and a Heater belt..ive mounted a inside/outside thermo on the fridge with the Outside probe in the fridge and a strip thermo on the fermenter(i think ill buy a tempmate before my wife kills me)
Anyway.....the ferm has been going since thursday and took 24hr to start and i have been trying to keep it around 20c the thing now is for 24hrs the temp in the fridge has been 18 and the temp on the fermenter is seemingly stuck on 22c with no heating on.
