Hey all,
A lot of sites discuss fermentation temperature when brewing ales and lagers and most say for instance that if the ale is fermented at >18C, you'll get ester production and make a fruitier beer.
Is the temperature they're quoting the liquid temp or the air temperature as our room we're fermenting is typically 15 - 19C but the fermentation is generating it's own heat and is usually 22-23C during krausen despite the cool room.
Thanks in advance,
Joe
