Lager Fermentation Temperature
Posted by

Just as an update, I took a couple of photos of my lager fermentation set up:
This is a photo from my basement. For the most part, the air temperature in my basement is around 53°F. To keep the fermenter at 50°F, I put it in this styrofoam box and filled it with water. If the temp goes up, I can put some snow in the water to cool down the fermenter. We got 6 more inches on Sunday night and I might as well use it for something.
The lock is clacking away. I wouldn’t say it is as vigorous as an ale fermentation, but it is steady.
We’ll keep an eye on this one. Brew On.
