MyQul's Brewday

Liberty Bell? This is MJ M36 right? FWIW, I've used it a few times recently at the lower end of the temp range.

Like you I don't really have any temperature control so I've been starting my brews off in the garage where the ambient lately has been 16-18degC. I haven't noticed anything other then perfectly normal fermentation.

By the way, I was reading this recently and there is some discussion/suggestion that M36 might be the same strain as S-04.

Yes it's working ok. The FV is sat on a heat mat controlled by an Inkbird.

Out of curiosity @Cheshire Cat , what wattage is your heat mat? (I assume you're doing 20L-ish batches?). I'm thinking about getting one for use with kweik but I only do 12L batches so maybe don't need much heat...

Tbh, I was fairly sure it would ferment at 17C but I wanted to get those dark fruit esters pumping, else I would just use CML boier.

I've only ever used S04 once (I think) so woulnt know

Not sure but I’ve only used it twice and I fermented at 24C in the garage with it. Here’s my jacket
