So as you guys can tell from other posts I have an Oktoberfest planned. I am a little confused though. The fermentation temps for wyeast 2206 are 48 to 58 I believe. My kegger sits @ 50 right now. The directions on the package say to pitch @ 70 and wait for signs of fermentation then move to the desired fermentation range. Well if I do that then move 70° of wort into a 50° kegger by the time my wort gets down to temperature it could be done fermenting. I made on APA recently with a 2L starter and at 70° it was down to FG within 48 hours.
I plan to cool wort to around 60 by way of coil and chilled top off water, then pitch my yeast and place in kegger immediately. The starter will be 70, so the entire corny will be just on the plus side of 60. I'll stay in range the entire time. I have oodles of time alloted for primary. Will this work?
