Newbie question. How much of an impact will temp fluctuation have on my primary? I live in Houston, TX and I keep my primary bucket in a coat closet right next to my thermostat. This winter Houston has been ranging from 35 F low in the morning and up to 70-75F in the afternoon and I have noticed that this week that the temp on my primary bucket started at 74F (day 1) and has gradually decreased to 68F (day7) even though the thermostat has been set to 72-74.
Notes: a cold front came thru this week. I'm doing an American Pale Ale. Been in the primary for 7 days and had good air lock activity for 3-4 days. Haven't taken a gravity reading yet. Any suggestion, recommendations or concerns? Please share. This is my first batch.
