Hey there,
Does anyone have a rule of thumb for estimating their fermentation temperature in a swamp cooler?
I have my carboy wrapped in a towel inside a large bucket filled with water and a fan blowing on it(only one side). I have a stick on thermometer on the side of the carboy, which has since been submerged in the water, and no longer gives me readings and I would like to estimate my fermentation temperature. The water is at 66F, i'm not too sure of the extent of cooling I am getting from the fan. Any rules or personal experiences out there?
Thanks,
Brad.
