New to Cider - Temperature!

[Buddybudd]

Hi all,

I’m new to home brewing and this week began making a cider - it’s been bubbling away nicely without any concerns for 2 days now but I’m a bit concerned about the temperature. I appreciate the thermometer strips you stick to vessels aren’t the most accurate but they’re reading 20 degrees C and I’m conscious that anything over this can be problematic - from what I’ve read anyway. The trouble is there is nowhere else in the house that it can go due to animals! Is the temp (if accurate) going to be a problem?

Regards,

Budd

I think you will be fine. It might just take a little longer to ferment out. I don't think it's cold enough anywhere yet to halt a brew if indoors. Good luck!

It sounded like you were wondering if going above 20deg Celsius would be a problem ?

Certainly won't be, TC's will crack on up to about 28deg so you'll be fine

As the last poster alluded to, you can probably go down to 16deg or so and it'll still work, but take a bit longer

Good luck [emoji4]
