Best temp for fermentation? STC1000

[bamcisman]

Hey all, I just hooked up my STC-1000. What would be an ideal temp in my mini fridge? Somewhere around 60 degrees during vigorous fermentation? Maybe bump it up 5 days in? Thanks!

Depends on the yeast. Also tape the probe to your fermenter or use a thermowell. Don't just set in the fridge.

Ideally, you should set your temp based on the yeast you're using. Also, insulate and tape the probe to your ferm vessel so you aren't measuring ambient temp. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1436713036.739675.jpg

I always look at the recommended temp for,the yeast I'm using and set the stc 1 degree lower. That should keep it in mid range of recommended temp. And as said above, Put your probe aginst the side of you fermenter put some bubble wrap or foam on top of the probe and tape it down.

Thanks for the tips! Guess i shouldve said, i usually use US-05

US-05 usually ferments the cleanest at 65° to 68°F.
