My ambient temperature of the room that I am currently fermenting an irish red ale in is about 69dF. However that little fermometer, or that strip thermometer on my bucket is reading 75dF! Can the metabolic activity of fermentation increase the beer 5d in comparison with the surroundings?? or is my strip thermometer faulty? I've adjusted the heat in the room hoping that the temp will cool because I don't want my beer fermenting at 75d. What do you guys think?
