So I have this floating thermometer but I don't like it. What do you guys use to monitor the temp while you are brewing?
Also, I am using a 6 gallon bucket to ferment in. I don't have a fridge so I was gonna put it in a 20 gallon trash can with water and frozen water bottles around it. I have seen the temperature sticker you can put on a carboy but nothing for a jug. Anything I can use to monitor that temp? Will putting the lid on the trash can cause any issues?
