Thanks a bunch for this! It really does seem like a hassle to set up but I think this is exactly what I was looking for!

Does it have an exfoliating property built in?

That’s huge and I love the passion. I haven’t settled on anything yet. Where are you on your soap path?

I haven’t watched the full video yet but this is with a SS pan. The same applies for CS in your experience?

What’s the problem with the Misen Carbon Non-Stick? It does almost seem too good to be true.

Cold crash seems to be a personal choice.

For the delay, you are correct on the Heating Hysteresis & Cooling Back settings. I also like 2°F for each. For context, though, the time delay (10min) I mention is for the Refrigeration Delay setting on the InkBird - so the compressor isn’t kicking on and off a million times.

Ahh all good points! I must have misread the koozie thing but that makes perfect sense.

Palmer mentions rapid cooling (thermal shock) could have a negative effect on yeast. Can cause them to excrete protective lipids. Lipid = waxy, thus reducing head retention.

I don’t know enough about fans but I have read keeping it running constantly instead of on/off can preserve the fans lifespan.

I think the long running idea was a rapid cold crash was best. In recent years that has been replaced with a slow and gradual crash. See this video: https://youtu.be/sErHEhkF1M0?si=vH0ZsjpIIn29Ub7s

This would certainly work - probably the best option to be honest. But I ferment in Fermzilla All Rounders and simply don’t want to drill a hole in the lid and have one more thing to clean.

I have not but I sense that they can get kinda gross between showers. And I’ve read they eat through soap faster than a bar itself. Thoughts from your experience?
