    obv as fermentation kicks in temp will rise, so no need for the graincoat until activity as drops! fine testing tbh!! all we need is temp control! otherwise waste o time! hence 1# test one. see how it reacts. bri

    I share foxy's thoughts but I've put an idea together. Let's face it, what worse can go wrong even in a small batch. This is ferment only, you choose how you load and unload the product. Start with the G30.
