US-05 Temps

[number40fan]

Upstairs is anywhere from 70-75° while downstairs usually stays around 62°. Where would you keep your fermentation?

Downstairs.

70 - 75 will be no fun with 05 downstairs

If you are going to bottle, then after bottling keep those upstairs to carb.

Ding, dong <--door bell. As soon as I got done writing the above question, my SCT from China showed up. Got a plug on it right away and taped the sensor to my fermentation bucket. After a couple of minutes it settled into 19.3° C. Bucket is sitting in a tote, so I covered the tote with a towel and the temps slowly rose to 19.8° and stayed there for the last 15 minutes or so. I think that'll do perfectly. Just over 24 hours being the bucket.

This all downstairs, of course.

19.8 C is almost 68 F the center of the wort my be hotter I use 05 all the time and like to start it out at 64 - 65 F and let it finish at around 67 - 68 F

all the best
