i have a thermometer with a metal probe, is it ok to put it directly in the fermenting wort through the blowoff tube? metal and beer, ive heard stories
I have all the tools needed to try this lying around, I just dont know if its worth trying cause you usually get only one chance at a healthy fermentation, a bad start and all you've done is lost
for me, using a fridge is not an option
I wanted to try the ice bath method, but theres no active...
Yeah I do live in Iran, there are labs that do all kinds of tests but it's not worth it since I'm not a pro and this isn't my job, I make my own beer cause I can't get real beer here, it's not legal, hard to find, most Iranians beers here are made using enzymes and there's no active fermentation...

I have 8 meters of 1cm thick aluminum tube and I thought why invest in a copper chiller when I can build my own chiller, aluminum has high thermal conductivity, my only concern is that it might change the flavor? Give it a metallic taste? The reason I think there might be something wrong about...
That's what I would definitely do next time
As for these seeds, there are only very tiny molds on some parts, the rest are clean can I only use the clean ones?
