I've just started brewing (4th brew), and i'm planning to make a lager in an old fridge which sits at 9C. I just want to know if anybody has any tips for how to do this.
I'm planning to have a few 12L contatiners of water at 9C top add to the brew.
I have Saflage S-23 yeast for the brew, and i want to know if this yeast needs to be added at a higher temp. or is 9C OK?
I'm also planning to make a yeast starter with water and a little dextrose & malt. Will the quick change in temp. (from room temp. to 9C) destroy the yeast? Should I make a starter at a lower tempurature?
Any advice would be appreciated
Much thanks
