This is my second attempt at a dark beer
I've avoided a few mistakes I made last time
This time I've added temp control
There are two probes inside the wort, one is connected to a thermostat and the other one is a thermometer
I'm getting a consistent temperature of 18.1c
Is it too cold? It's an oatmeal stout so I don't wanna get any fruity esters, I want it to be as clean as possible
Some say us05 produces peach esters at the lower end of the ideal temp
The problem is it's my own homemade fridge, I designed it to get as low as 3c
It wasn't designed for that high of a temp, even with the lid open, I can't get it to go anywhere higher than 18.1
