Poor Man's Fermentation Temperature Control


Here's my bucket fermenter in the bathtub. I usually use my keezer to control the temperature but, happily, it is full of beer at the moment. The large volume of water helps keep the wort temperature stable. I had to plug up the drain with some plastic wrap to keep it from leaking. In the fermenter is a mostly Cascade hops pale ale, I plan to dry hop with three ounces of Cascade when the active fermentation slows down.
