Everything still looks good to me, how does it taste or smell?

Wooo, good catch!

TL;DR but those pictures look fine to me except that the heat might of effected your yeast and they tossed some off flavors.

So you made soda?

So unsafe that YouTube must of taken it down lol. :rockin:

Yeah, you can get through TF2 campaign in 8 hours or so, but its worth the play through.

Yeah, I play TF2 as well, also a solid game.

For my lagers I use this https://www.morebeer.com/products/stopper-thermowell-1.html?site_id=5 For my ales I use this for temps on my carboys. http://www.mrbeer.com/stick-on-thermometer

A lot of documentation states that fermentation will produce +/- 5 to 10 degrees of heat. Personally, I havn't really seen this kind of heat production, especially not 10 degrees. But in all fairness the sticker temp strips on the side of the carboy are probably not crazy accurate. At the...

LOL those ads are expensive id be sooo livid to find that out. :goat:

I hope it works better than the last straw, that thing produced more foam than beer. Wasn't too happy with it.

you got lucky it didn't actually blow off completely and you found a good mess to clean up.

I live in Texas so it gets to 100 degree's F or 38 degree C so I know a little bit about what your going through. So lets start off by saying it depends on the yeast you use. Every yeast has its ideal temps and its usually easy to find this information. So lets use US-05 as an example b/c its...

I said I use dry yeast often but I do absolutely make starters for my lagers. This is probably the most accurate post on this thread yet.

After I pitch the yeast I close the lid to the carboy and give it a good shake.

Yeah, I pitch dry all the time and never had any issues but this is a conflicting and controversial topic as mentioned.

The best advice I can give you is once its done and bottled let it condition a long time. Like..months at least the longer it sits the better it gets. So if you don't like it after 2 or 3 weeks just know this.

Another photo I found for you.

I found this online, this is exactly what it looks like with the thermometer sticking out a couple inches but not very far.
