This question is general and relates to nonspecified ale yeasts. How critical is a constant temperature? Can a room fluctuate say 5 or 10 degrees every day (say when using a digital thermostat to save fuel)?
Does anyone know of an a fast, easy fix for leveling these spikes when brewing? I will need something because I'll switch to wood heat again which will fluctuate temperature in the living room from 80 (early evening) to 65 degrees (middle of night). I plan on building an insulated chest, but that's neither easy nor fast. Does wrapping a fermenter in a blanket work or even help?
