just finished up a smoked porter last night and it is starting to brew a little warm.
the recipie that I used I don't have offhand but remember fairly close
3lbs racuhmalt
2oz 80l crystal malt
8oz black malt
2oz chocolate malt
5lbs dark dme
6aau golding 60min boil
3aau willamette 30min
3aau golding 5min
wyeast 1098 british ale which I put into a starter before pitching.
starting gravity was right at 1.058
only thing I added was 1tsp of yeast nutrient outside of the directions.
finished up about 4 in the morning and by the time I woke up at 11am it had a nice layer of foam on the top but the little stick on thermometer is reading between 76* to not reading at all. it is sitting in the same right about 2 feet from my mead that is reading right now at 68*. what is causing this high temp and is it something I should be worried about? the recipe calls for 68* brewing temps and Ican't figure out how to get the temps down either as I have no A/C in this house yet. I've tried putting a fan right in front of it full speed but it doesn't make much difference. ambient temps in the house are right at 68-70*
