Hello all, new here but hopefully here to stay.
Bit of a beer virgin, started my brew before I got my Fermentation vessel as impatience got the better of me, I now have a Woodfordes Wherry 4 days into a brew in a King Keg top tap. I am aware its not ideal to ferment and store in the same vessel, but you live and learn (quickly)
My problem is that my house never drops below about 20C, not ever! How can I help clear this beer without a cool temp, apart from the shed which is unheated?
Thanks for any replies I get, good to be here and hope to be here some time as I have an Admirals Reserve ready to go into my new FV!

Hi Kev, welcome to Jims.
Fermenting in the house, prime/secondary for approx 1 week in the house and then conditioning in the shed/garage will be fine.
I think that's what most people do if they don't have other means of temperature control.

No worries, Kev; Nor does f*cking MUNTONS 'Wherry'!

'Seriously' though; What ever's so wrong about popping it out into the shed? I use an unheated back room ~ christ, it must be like a freezer out there! Just psyche yeself up that ye about to carry five gallons of Nitro Glycerine out there. Probably hung in front of between ye legs

That should ensure ye scream at the wife, kids and Dog to GTF out of ye way as ye prevent any sloppage inside that keg. That'll likely be the biggest bug bear; Not disturbing it in movement.
Then comes the wait ..... Then the freezing dashes out for another pint!
Ye'll remember all this, comes the time ye have a 'Dustbin Bunker' outside the kitchen door ~ and a tap on the inside!

Re: No cool place!
Thanks for the replies fella's, wasn't sure if it would be too cold and ruin the clearing, I'll keep an eye on it and throw a jumper on it should it get low.
The image of me waddling out there with it between my legs I'd pondered already!! hehe
