So the temps here in Northern Virginia have lept from the 40s to the 80s over night.
I have been waiting for so 60 degee weather but we may not get much this year.
SO I am brewing anyway because I need the beer, I am down to my last 2 gallons from November's 38 gallons.
I was thinking that if I did not use an airlock until the "bubbling" slow I would have the added benifit of having the heat escape...
I mean the escaping CO2 is moving gas right?, it should cool the top of the wort and since the wort is self mixing it should cool it down... (like a poured Guiness)
After that I really don't care if it warms up in to the 70s because most of the heavy lifting is done.
At least that is my idea...
