Subject: How low (temp) does Pacman go?
|
I've been playing around with pacman yeast for a few months now as the
weather gets cool but it still seems to be working. How low can I ferment
before I have attenuation problems, poor aroma or lagged ferment?
I haven't done side-by-side comparisons to warm fermented beer, but I
recently fermented a 1.060 amber at 55F without any problems. Upon
warming it up to 65F for a couple days, there was no change in gravity.
I'd like to know if it'll also ferment at 50F along side with my next
lager or whether I'll have to set up some heating for it.

55 is a pretty common temp for me to use Pacman, like you found. Don't
think I've used it as low as 50, though. You could ry emailing Rogue or
Wyeast and see what they say.

This is pretty much the house yeast for Rogue Brewing. It's a
proprietary strain, sort of like 1056 on steroids. Fairly high
attenuation and quite flocculant. Wyeast is offering it right now as a
seasonal yeast until sometime around the first of the year. Any local
brew shop that handles Wyeast should be able to get it for you. I've
used it for a couple of brews now including a Pliny the Elder clone and
I have been quite happy with it.
