Hey folks. First batch has been in the fermenter for 2 weeks today (Irish Stout). I live in S. TX and it's been rather warm, so I've had my bucket sitting in the coolest part of the house (2nd bathroom) in a tub of water to keep the temperature relatively constant. My mini-fridge fermentation chamber is built now with an STC-1000 and I'm wondering, should I move it into the fridge, or just leave it be since it's been sitting there for 2 weeks already? I planned on waiting until next week to take a FG sample and potentially bottle. It's got a packet of dry Muntons in it and the airlock activity has been relatively slow from what I gather it's supposed to be (I guess I don't have a good seal on the bucket lid). I don't know how far along fermentation is yet (no sample and I can't see inside). I'd say the temperature has been between 68-71 in the bathroom for 2 weeks. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!
