Hi
Just brewed my first batch and everything went about as well as I could hope for my first time. Of course, I still am having the normal anxiety that spawned the wonderful "Did I ruin it?" thread.
Here is my question --
My apartment is always about 73-75 degrees and the primary fermentation is at that same temp. I know this is on the high end, but didn't really know if I could do anything about it.
I read something about people using ice packs or wet towels around the primary to bring their temps down a few degrees.
I am on day 3 and my bubbles have stopped after going vigorously for the first day (I know now not to be too concerned) but is it worth cooling everything down? I could put some cool water and ice packs around the bucket to bring everything down a few degrees if it was necessary.
Thanks for the help
