What is ideal for primary fermentation and does one test it by pushing the cap down first and taking temp of total amount?
My batch is chokecherry and Saskatoon all with seeds, pulp and skins. started with 1090 SG
temperature since start is constant 72 also after adding yeast 2 days ago. Last night added a little acid blend and half amount yeast nutrient and SG was 1080. This morning temp was 78 and had a big hot cap, I pushed it down and remeasured temperature and its still 72 so just the cap was hot.
what is the ideal temperature, should I control it along the way or let it naturally peak in temperature, if so what is maximum and would it be better to control along the way. I have three different rooms all with warm to cool temperatures so easy to move the bucket.
