I am planning on brewing EdWort's Bavarian Hefeweizen this weekend. According to his instructions - he said that he recommends fermenting at 68 degrees.
My basement is 70 degrees. I do have a refrigerator with an external temperature controller for it. So I was thinking of firing up the fridge and doing the fermenting in there.
So my question is - to ferment at 68, what should I set the thermostat to? Simple logic tells me - set it at 68. But I'm thinking that with the increased temperatures within the fermentation bucket that the ambiant temperature should be a little lower. Does that sound right? If so - what should I set that thermostat to?
Thanks!
