Hey guys it's just a Styrofoam box with ice and I just keep a thermometer in it to track the temperature. I haven't invested in an electronically controlled one yet

So this is the first time I'm try to maintain my fermentation temperature. Placed 1 gal. batch in the chest cooler. When I came back from work there were minimal bubbles forming and when I looked at the temperature it was around 50 degrees. Using safale S-04 and I read those were monsters, hope...

This time I rinsed all I used with baking soda to clean the equipment before using Brooklyn brew sanitizer. I'm thinking next time I'll let a iodine solution sit in the carboy in between brews

Yup and it's my second batch so it's a "big loss"

Yup definitely fuzzy, could I still rack it? Will it affect the taste? Or my health? Hahaha

Used saflager w-34/70. Yeah, it doesn't look like all the other infections here

Yes another what's on my beer post sorry! These things popped up a week into fermentation. Looks like canoes with black things on top. I searched the forums and the white growth I think are yeast rafts but what's on top? Is it still safe? Still smells hoppy and sweet though
