I have a chest freezer with eight kegs in it. Works great, I keep it at 41F. I went to pour a beer out of one of my pale ale kegs and it seemed stuck. So I pop the top and notice that the beer is all slushy, like a slurpee. I immediately thought that maybe my temp control was bad so I cracked...

Wow cool. Where in Guatemala are you?

I have mine ion a 10 by 12 (maybe 10 by 16, cant remember) shed in the back. I brew on the deck but ferment and serve and store everything in the shed/ man cave. Here it is:

It will work. It won't showcase the hops as much and likely be a little sweeter, but it will work fine. FYI, my absolute favorite IPA yeast is the East Coast IPA yeast from Gigayeast. Find this stuff and you'll be golden.

I just got the results back from my latest contest. I didn't expect to win. But I did expect some sort of useful comments. Something I could use to improve my beer. Instead, what i got was one judge telling my the beer was too hoppy while the next says not enough hops. One saying nice and crisp...

Drink what you like, like what you drink.

Not enough info. Was there more liquid when you started fermenting? But yeah, less sugar.

Jesus Christ, this is the kind of **** that drives me crazy. Not anything with what the OP posted but some of the responses on here. Holy crap, what a bunch of dicks. Not all of you, but you know who I am talking about. Op, it could be worse. You could have a buddy that just started brewing and...

Doesn't matter man. PM me your address, I'll send you some.

I don't know why but your sentence "I am anal about star-san" is just downright disturbing.

If you are going to do an ipa, I highly suggest buying some hops and adding them to the fermenter after a week or so. Maybe an ounce of anything that starts with C. Simcoe, Amarillo, Mosiac will also work well.

Ok I just watched one of that guy Craig's videos. Well part of it at least. Enough to tell me that you should not be watching his videos for anything but entertainment value. Sure he makes beer. But I wouldn't want to drink it. Every step of the way it's like this. Sure it will work. But so...

Well basically the yeast will work at that temp. However it is likely to cause off flavors. At lower temps, for that style about 68-70, you will have less off flavors.
