I'm 5 days into fermentation and it seems that the ferm temp has dropped a bit, based on the thermometer I have taped to the outside of the bucket, so I'm assuming active fermentation phase is done. I'm going away for a few days and am wondering if I should keep my temp controller set at 65.5F or raise it up a bit. I'm finding that without the active fermentation generating it's own heat, its harder to keep the temp stabilized after the freezer shuts off, as it drifts down past the set point (shut off point), and continues to drop because its not recovering due to the decreased self heat production. This is my theory, anyway.
I was thinking if I set the temp higher know, I should be able to maintain temp better as it would settle in and around room temp and not need as much help from the freezer. Thoughts?
