Lager brewing at low temp

Post by gullarm » Tue Nov 25, 2008 1:01 am

Some information for those interested in brewing Lager using lager yeast ( S 23 )

The temp inside my brewing shed is 2.2 deg C so I thought I had better pop my fish tank heater into my bucket as my lager cant be brewing at that temp.

Anyway its brewing, the wireless temp gauge on top of the bucket is saying 2.2 and bubbles are slowly rising from the airlock.

I also checked the gravity and its dropped around 5 since saturday so it may be slow but its going.

So for all you lager drinkers now is the time to brew slow and low.
