Play by play events as they take place.
Temperature can mean everything.
An example is last night after I put the crock in the house it cooled off.
This sucked the water from the mote to the back side so I had to add more water.
The temperature was 70 degrees.
As I turned up the thermostat to 75 for the day the crock started to warm as well. At 73 degrees it has picked up the pace with its bubbling.
There are two reasons, it is becoming more active on its own and the slight temperature change.
The other thing I did before I put anything in the crock was to use bleach in it and also hydrogen peroxide to kill any unwanted mold spores and bacteria.
Plus screaming hot water inside and out.
The peppers were just rinsed in cold tap water the carrots were not skinned or peeled just washed off.
