Ok, Brewed yesterday, everything is happy happy (no bubbles yet but looking good).
So my next thoughts are temp related.
To manage temp, I have read here that some use water bath's, Fish bowl heaters, Ice in water.... all to manage temp. Then there are those who just put in the crawl space and rely on natural temp control.
So I'm thinking it's an exothermic reaction but don't know how much. So this morning I put a thermometer in water in the same location to track temp, but that will not account for any exothermic reaction.
So how much of a rise in temp do you see over ambient in a 5.5 gal pail of wort/yeast?
Currently I'm maintaining 61.3 deg.
