I use clamp down buckets, so no airlock. I am only opening it so I know when I should start my simple syrup, I am waiting for krausen to start forming so I can add it at the peak. I don't want the fermentor to get too far above 70 since I am trying to let the hop flavor shine through. The ambient in the room is 65 and I would like to keep the fermentation at around 70. I am sure this yeast would perform pretty well at 65 but I do want to get some of the flavors out of this yeast so I might try to avoid icing it.What is your max temp you don't want to go above? I clean my fermentor and fill with water so it comes up to about half way on the bucket. You could use wet towels, but i find frozen 2 liter or 1 liter pop bottles (water) work great. Plan to have one you can exchange out when you need too.Thats what i do.I would give the fermentation more time to start, and i would leave the lid on and wait for airlock activity.
