Update on HOT fermentation Temperature

[FlyinBrewer]

I put it in a swam cooler w/ a T-shirt over the top.

Just checked it with a sanitized digital remote aquarium thermometer.

68* haven't been able to ice it since last night (flew all day), gonna re-ice it before bed.

Fermentation down to 12 BPM

Prolly gonna take a SG reading tomorrow AM.

Careful with the ice. Once fermentation starts to slow, its easier to keep it cool. Fermentation creates alot of heat which is why it jumped up so quick on you.

Roger. I"ll try to maintain the 68. It sat all day at that temp so I'll monitor it.

hah, ambient temps in my basement were probably pushing mid 70's, low 80's! Everything turned out ok surprisingly, though personally I think I can tell the difference.
