Do I trust my wife?

[Hackwood]

On Monday, 03/18/2013, I brewed my AmberBock clone and it has been fermenting away nicely at 54deg. At one week or so I will start dropping the temp down 1-2 degrees a day until I reach approximately 34deg. Problem! I am leaving town for over a week and will have to depend on my wife to adjust the temp daily for me.

Am I coming back to town with my ferm chamber at what I left it at or do you think that there's a chance in hell that she'll remember to adjust it?

If not, will there be any problem just proceeding with the gradual drop when I get back. Shouldn't be, but I have to ask.

Thanks in advance.

That should be fine. If she forgets, the extra week at 54* won't hurt it.

If it were me, my wife would be expecting (and getting) a daily text msg reminder--- "don't forget to babysit the beer!".

That's the plan, but I will be away racing and MIGHT forget. Hope not!

Just an update: Got back in to town this past Monday and what do you kow, my beautiful loving wife had successfully gotten my temp down to 34degrees!! MAN, I love that woman. Now to let it sit at 34 for 3-4 weeks and get on with business.

THANK YOU SWMBO!!!

I thought of that too. I just have to trust that all went correct I guess. You know women, and that means that until that one day she'd never let it out that she went straight to 34. They are just good that way. Or bad. whichever. hahaha
