I was wonder if anyone can help me out with a couple question regarding water baths
How much does a water bath buffer the temperature of the actual fermentation. Say if you have a water bath at a constant 64 deg and your vessel (probably a plastic carboy) is at high krausen, how much would it moderate the potential 6-10 deg rise of a large beer. Would circulating the water help stabilize the temp even more?
How accurate are aquarium heaters at maintain temps. I live in the upper peninsula of michigan so my basement even in summer is pretty stable in the mid to low 60s but the whole house gets pretty cold in the winter the idea of adjusting the temp via water bath sounds like a good option especial to keep styles such a Belgians on the table.
Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated
