I am very upset with my 50% success rate.
Fermentation temp is the culprit. During primary, the room ambient temp approached the high end of the yeasts fermentation range...I am guessing the beer itself went too high (i've since adjusted the placement of the crystal therm sticker)
I have a basement that sits at 58. My house is ranging from 65 to 85 right now.
My chest freezer that I bought for use as a fermentation chamber is set on my digital johnson controller to 65.
What I am seeing is that at night the 65 drops as low as 57.
I am looking for a cheap way to get a steady 65 out of my chest freezer.
Any ideas? Would I be better off waiting 2 months until the summer nights stay of the 30's? I live in Southern Maine.
Thanks....I can't believe how upset this makes me....I can't even relax and have a home brew.
