Ok... so now I am very confused.
Came home tonight and the fermometer said 60. I had a new fermometer with me. I applied that one to the bucket as well. After an hour I checked that one and they both read close to the same... one was about 60, the other about 60-61 depending on interpretation of the squares. I also had a digital ambient thermometer with me too. I checked the air temp in the area around the fermenter - it was 60 also. So now that much was starting to make sense. Although... I took a sample of the wort, checked gravity and temp. The gravity is the same it was 24 hours ago. The temp is the weird thing. When I used my brewing thermometer
it said the actual wort sample temp was 68 deg. I don't get it....
I also tasted the sample and it tasted sort of sulfuric. Smelled and tasted a little like flat beer but had a fairly unpleasant taste. It's been about 4 days now in the fermenter.
