I have a question regarding ambient temperature at the beginning of fermentation. I know with most ales you want to pitch between 65 and 75 degrees right? Also, I understand that during fermentation the temp can go up as much as 10 degrees. What ambient temperature does my cooler need to be in order to maintain a fermentation temp around 65?
Is it is as simple as getting my cooler to 55 degrees to keep the fermenting bucket at 65 degrees? I'm planning on brewing my 2nd batch soon and I want to make sure I have my temps right to avoid fusels and excessive esters.
Any tips would be appreciated. Btw, I use the cool brewing bag to keep my fermenter bucket chilled.
