As far as my thermometer is telling me. This is my first brew so I don't have the greatest temp taking setup, so i'm just going by ambient temperature and also just by how warm it feels. Trying to keep it as constant as possible, near 70
ya, but ambiet temperature can be 65 and beer at 70... I would hate for you to heat beer up to 74 unless you want to by using a space heater. Really clean a turkey baster or something and take a sample and temp that. 65 sounds good for fermenting beer at 70
What yeast?
California Ale Yeast WLP001
Sounds good I'll keep that stuff in mind. One thing I have noticed however is that when I keep the heater on for about half and hour then turn it off, fermentation takes off again. But when I leave it to cool down, it shuts off completely, and there is even negative pressure in my airlock.
but not necessarily BETTER
