I've wanted to home brew for many years. I gave it an attempt about 20 plus years ago, but as an over the road driver, I never really had the stability and time. Or I was too busy riding the scooter. Well, I'm off the road and working local so I'm realizing the dream.
I realize that this thread is an introduction, but I have a question I hope I can get answered. I brewed my second all grain 2 days ago and while the ambient temperature around my fermenter is about 66°F, the probe that I have stuck between the carry strap and the carboy is reading about 72-73°F. The optimum max temp for the yeast I'm using is 72°F and that is my concern. I never realized that the fermentation process generated so much heat..... or am I missing something here?? It's doing what it's suppose to.... bubbling away. All comments and advise will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks,
