Does anyone have any experience with fermenting a lager using a swamp cooler? My new basement here stays a a constant 57-58 degrees here in the winter. I was wondering if it is possible to do a lager with a swamp cooler? I have used a swamp cooler successfully to keep temps down for fermenting ales in the summer, but never a lager. I figure I could lager fine after fermentation, as the garage barely stays above freezing. I was thinking of making a pre-prohibition American style Pilsner or a German or Bohemian Pilsner. Any thoughts?
