Temperature change

[RogueGoose85]

I realized after 15 hours post-pitch that my temp in my closet is about 75 F. I don't want to put my yeast in overdrive, so I turned the thermostat down to 71. I know stable temp is important, but so is a low temp (65-75). Am I ok lowering the temp 15 hours in?

I dropped it to 70, the temp should go down a couple more degrees in the closet. Going to bed, hope I'm not messing anything up too much :/ damn preference for a warm home.

Miscalculation of time, it's been roughly 27 hours. Ugh, im freaking out, in crisis mode.

Suck it up and turn it down to 65.

At 69, I'll leave it here for the remainder of the time. A lot of activity inside, no more airlock activity, which is ok per this forum. Well see wht happens when I take a couple FG.

RDWHAHB. What yeast are you using?

 

[RogueGoose85]

Haha, I really do. I was trying to avoid all the mistakes i did with my first batch :/ Im using white labs dry English 007. Did a liter starter, had an OG of 1.074.

So airlock activity subsided between hours 29 and 36, still activity in the wort.

Ps. I have to keep the temp at least around 68-72 because of the girlfriends pets in there, another reason it was warm. I blame her

Btw, the mobile app is great

I'll just answer you here about the blow off in the other thread. I did not use one, im ok, but will consider one next batch if recommended

I thought I was seeing the same thing twice. Lol. I've learned my lesson with doing primary in a carboy so I make sure to use one if that is the situation.
