Hi everyone
Have just made myself a fermentation chamber out of a fridge with an inkbird. I was itching to try it out so I set to making my favourite brew, a Marstons pedigree clone. The brew went well and I achieved very close to the target og.
I pitched the s04 at 24c and put it in the fermenting fridge and set the inkbird to 20c.
After 24 hours I had a look and was a bit disappointed as the yeast head was not developing as expected. After 48 hours it is beginning to subside. I checked the temperature of the wort which was 0.2c different to the inkbird.
My questions are, should I give it a good rousing and increase the temp slightly or leave it a week and take some more hydrometer reading? I have never had any problems with this recipe or this yeast.
Thanks in advance.
