Came out not bad. But the starting temperature was a little high and it has a slight tangy flavour.

I'm trying to find a way to better control the fermentation temperature on the cheap. Any tips appreciated!

One question I do have... After leaving in the bottles for a couple of weeks I've noticed a white residue is settling on the bottom of the bottle. Is this normal? (Pic of sediment in comments)

Nice! Haha I get it, I’ve gone right into growlers before when I wasn’t feeling well just to get it done. Only had one blow once lol.

If you’ve got “buy and old freezer” money for this that’s absolutely the best plan. Get that, or just an old form fridge or whatever, as long as it works, and something like this: https://a.co/d/244s4zY

I have the same one, it’s worked reliably for years.
