Hey all, tis the season for cheap garage lagering, and I had a few questions
How important is it for the beer to remain at a consistant temp during the lagering process? A garage can change by several degrees, but the range is usually below 40 degrees. In short, is it more important to keep a lager cold than it is to keep it consistant? I was hoping to do a schwartzbier soon before it got so cold that stuff actually froze in the garage. Let me know what you guys think, and what you all do for lagering. I don't have the money for a fridge or a controller yet (im working on it) so maybe some lowtech solutions would be cool. (<-- pun)
