    Lager starters

    I am sure this has been discussed on here, but I haven't looked and I figure it is easier to just ask.

    I have made a few dubbels and have had limited success and I am curious about what other people are doing with their temps when fermenting. I use a fridge with a Johnson controller that stays around 66-68 with at most three buckets going at a time. I am wondering if I can improve my yeast...
