So i am making a 10 gal hefeweizen batch. I purchased a 15 gal fermentor so there would be plenty of room for the large krausen. I pitched with 3 packets of the imperial stephon G01 (yes overkill again).
in the fermentor:
(1) tilt (purple)
(1) 100 watt aquatop controller

(1) aquatop cps-12 pump
https://www.aquatop.com/collections...uction-cup-mount-1-321gph?variant=37439361671
Also the inkbird temp probe is inside.
so my thinking is to try to keep the yeast in suspension(more yeast, better/faster attenuation?)and to keep the wort at 64F. The freezer its in is set to 45F. This will no doubt use a lot of electricity.
I was going to use a more powerful heater but when it energizes the surface of the heater gets quite hot and i would think kill a lot of yeast. The smaller heater will not do this and the pump will keep the yeast moving around the heater.
Ill update this thread as to what happens here.
last photo is a belgian tripel that just got completed, Surprisingly good for a first one.
