Cracked the fridge door and used a dish towel to keep it slightly open (keeping most of the light out) to encourage beer to warm up. Good weather outside, and house fluctuates between 68-75, but closed fridge kept chamber around 66. Probe temperature has slowly risen over the last few days from 66 to 71 (on 4/6)

Notes

Developed using Michael Tonsmire's Hoppy American Wheat recipe (Modern Times Fortunate Islands). Sticking with the 1.75 qt./lb. mash thickness. Hovering around 100% conversion efficiency with this thickness and BIAB dunk sparge.
