As we are in the summer months and the basement is beginning to get a little warmer, I would like to have a better idea of the internal temperature of the fermenter.
The ambient air in the basement is around 66 degrees right now. I cool the wort to 65 before I pitch, and then once the sticker thermometer hits 68 and the airlock is bubbling, I stick the fermenter into a water bath. Once in the water bath the sticker says the temp is like 68-70 when fermentation is in full swing.
Has anyone ever added a thermometer to a bucket lid? Or drilled a whole for a rubber stopper, then drilled a hole in the stopper for a thermometer?
Cheers!!!
