    Spike Conical- observations and best practices

    Just got my jacket and heater too. I use that aquarium chiller, it goes down to 39. During fermentation I keep the reservoir around 55, then set the reservoir to 39, that takes a couple hours. Then I set my conical temp to 43, takes 10ish hours to get there. New jacket should help out too. I...
