I have a rather unique(I think)problem.My brewery is in my mechanical room which houses my furnace and in floor heat boiler.It is in the winter that I have a problem keeping my fermentation temps down as the furnace and boiler run alot more.
I have started putting my fermentor into a large container of water and add ice regularly to keep my temp around 68 degrees.
My question is:how long do I do this for?My last batch started off vigorously about 4 hrs after pitching,however 10 days later it is still bubbling!Should I be ramping the temp up?If I don't add ice it settles in around 74 degrees.
