I brewed an American IPA a week ago and set my wort chiller to go. Apparently my digital thermometer was off. It read 80 so I tranferred it to the fermenter. But my fermometer, which goes up to 78, didn't have a reading and the carboy was very warm.
It took 5 or 6 hours to drop to 78 degrees in an evironment that was 64 degrees. Is there a way to determine my initial temp? Because of how high the temp was, my gravity reading was off. Which also throws off my efficiency.
