--- yes, it's melted out.
So here's the story. I used that for years but got a new fridge (old one broke), and positioning changed.
Late last night, I checked my lager and decided I needed to start my diacetyl rest early, so I start cranking it up. Light bulbs are fine for beer, right? no UV? right? hmm, better check. Google mentions something about blue light, so I start worrying about ruining my beer.. I know! I'll wrap the light cage in aluminum foil to block all the light. brilliant idea... oor maybe a late-night stupid idea.
I also noticed that next to my 100W bulb is a "Max 75w" stamp. Sigh - not my most brilliant installation.
So, there doesn't seem to be any smoke but the whole chamber stinks. I hope that the airlock/bung is keeping any smell out of my beer!!!
Now deciding between one of those cheap personal-size space heaters and fan, or, a reptile bulb in another cage + small circulating fan!
