Thank you all for the comments. I will just continue to take readings and I may or may not transfer to my secondary. I will be kegging this brew if that changes anything? I can create a co2 blanket before transferring to the secondary or keg.
Also I am using one of those plastic buckets for fermenting and I was wondering is it accurate to take gravity readings from the bottom spigot? Going to transfer to a glass carboy for my secondary.
Okay I whipped together a extract kit. The OG was 1.050 and this was 4/20 @ 10:00pm. Checked the next morning and it was very active sitting @ about 70deg. It is now as of 4/22 @ 12:30pm not very active about 4 out of 10 and it is @ 1.020. Is this thing ready for the secondary or what?
Okay I get it now. I was thinking that is what it might have been for but I wanted to make sure before I purchased anything. Going to get the stc1000. I don't mind the wiring aspect and hell it's about time I understood celsius lol.
I am going to convert a freezer to a keezer and I am going to use a temperature controller but I am confused because I noticed thay some are dual control? Would I need a dual cotrol if it is just for a freezer? It seems like I would just need it to turn off the compressor when it gets cold...
Man do you enjoy being discourageing and overall negative when you comment? Look if you don't have anything constructive or helpful to say then please don't comment on my post...
Thanks for your suggestions and critics. I need to invest in a wine thief so gravity reading will be less of a hassle. As of now I am having to siphon them and it is really discourging being as I do not yet have a designated spot for brewing and with the kitchen so small.. well you get it.. I am...
Also I did not get a OG reading.. Just winging this one as following the instructions it won't be very high abv and that's okay. Just testing the waters.
