I switched to using a 3.5mm female jack plug in the lid of my fermentation bucket, for an airtight easy to connect sensor setup. Turns out these can't be trusted. Due to a flimsy connection, my sensor stopped working and the fridge cooled my beer from 18 to 14.5 degrees while I was asleep.
But now the good news: fermentation was still going strong! At 15 degrees, 3 degrees under the recommended range of 18-21.
I have fixed the sensor and the beer is still at 15 now, with bubbles in my blow-off bottle every second.
I am hopping the **** out of this beer, so I want to keep the banana flavors down, but 15 is a bit crazy.
Or is it? What do you think? Leave it at 15? I have heard of 3068 producing sulfur at low temperatures, but nothing so far.
