Hi Guys and galls.
Glenn Here from New Zealand. I have just been busy building a box and lining it with 1.5 inch polysteryne and have just laid my first brew down. It is winter here at the moment and the outside temp is fluctuating between 0 - 15 celcius so thought the chilli box idea might help with the consistency in Temp. I am also running a warming pad underneath the brew and so far it has been going for about 5 hours and is sitting on 26deg Celsius.
Question: If the brew maintains this temp for the next 7 days or so do you guys think it should have done its first flementation cycle? yes i will do a hydrometer reading but the chap at the brew shop reckoned 12 - 14 days
I have done a hydrometer test today when i laid the brew and it read 1.34 and I think I am already addicted to this hobby and havn't even got anything in the bottles yet, Lol
Anyway just wanted to say hi and let you guys know what a great forum this is.
Cheers
