Hi,
Does temperature fluctuation effect fermentation and beer quality?
I started brewing this month. After doing some research I setup a 2nd hand fridge with an InkBird temp control as managing a tank with ice was to much of a hassel. Another reason is that where I live its summer and temperature is around 28-32celcius(86)
To reduce some stress of the fridge I have set the target temperature to 18celcius(64.4) on the inkbird with a max temperature of 21.5celcius(70.7), so in short the fridge will kick in at 21.5celcius(70.7) and brings the beer back down to 18(64.4).
Also the beer is normally slightly colder as I measured a sample with a probe since the inkbird themometer is attached to the outside(insulated with layers of foil)
Does a fluctuation of 3.5c(6.3f) effect the fermentation/yeast?
Thanks in advance!
