I finally brewed too small a batch to hit the probe in the unitank and I'm debating on wether to top it off with water enough to hit the probe tomorrow or just let it go with intermittent cooling from the jackets. Its an 18.6P Belgian that is using the Whte labs saison II. I know this yeast can go pretty warm, but I dont really have a clue as to how much heat this fermentation will generate.
Its an 8 BBL batch in a 15BBL tank pitched at 75F. I have access to one of those infared(?) thermometers that measures surface temps, so I might be able to get a decent reading off the manway surface, or I'll just pull samples.
Any thoughts? I'd probably have to add a BBL or less of water if I go that route.
