I put a thermometer in there and it was a constant 19˚C!
This I've put down to my water bed so now my FV's go in the bedroom and SWMBO has to put up with the gurgling and brewery smell!

Re: Keeping beer cool during fermentation
My central heating boiler broke down a few weeks ago and the house was cold but I found my bedroom was warm !?
I put a thermometer in there and it was a constant 19˚C!

Re: Keeping beer cool during fermentation
Hi
I found that the fementation, can give off 5C to 6C above ambient. Measuring center of fermention, in the early days of fementation.
What I now do to control this, is have the probe in the center (1/3 the way down) of the fermentation vessel and then link this to an ATC, which controls the fridge and the brewbelt.
Personally, I really like this method and I never see the fermenter out of the target range +/-0.5C
