Subject: Largering temps
|
I'm hunting for a fridge or a chest freezer so I can larger. My temps during
summer in the coolest part of my house are 73-75'f and can get as high as
77'f.
My question is this, is there an online resource, or a book that would
detail the temps and approximate time that different beer styles need to
ferment?
Appreciate any input, thanks.

My opinion is "New Brewing Lager Beer" by Gregory J. Noonan. This is a
GREAT book looking at the technical side (numbers and statistics) of
lagering and the brewing (decion and grain usage) side. Though I
think you could find more what you are looking for if you look at White
Labs or Wyeast web site (Or whatever yeast you use) since the temp is
TOTALLY dependent on the stain of yeast you are using. Noonan suggest
that a basic all around temp for primary fermenting a lager strain is
50 and the lagering phase is 34.

I'll second that suggestion -- one of my favorites.

As low as 73F (22.8C) in the summer in Texas? This must be a
deep basement!
For great prices (as in free) on freezers, see freecycle.org.
