Does the fermenting process generate significant heat? The reason I am asking the question is as follows:
a. If the primary is generating heat from the fermenting process then I will adjust my planned floor freezer temp to recommended yeast ranges to compensate for the actual temp on the primary.
b. This I assume would best be accomplished by placing a thermometer on the outside of the primary.
c. Assuming the primary is warmer by lets say 10 degrees. Then one could adjust the freezer temp to lets say 57 degrees to ensure the primary remains at 67 degrees. This assumes the fermenting temp range for the wort would be 65 to 70degrees.
Here in south Texas tempature control during the summer is extremely difficult to manage. So my brother and I are starting out focusing in on this issue before we even get started. We are planning a combination frig freezer set-up to handle our primary, secondary and storage needs.
Thank you in advance for your response.
