I put off a ferm chamber till just recently. I would propose it made as big a difference as my own grain mill. Eric

That would have been some really good info for me, 3 years ago. I had no idea they fudged the directions.... Eric

Standard practice? Did not see that coming. I read the directions on the packet and shot for a temp in the middle of the range. I am going to brew this one again and will ferm a lot lower, with blow off. Eric

I am fermenting at 68 via a temp probe attached to the side of the fermenter and a piece of foam on the outside of the probe. short of taking the temp inside the fermenter, I hope to be at 68 inside. The heater barely runs. Eric
