So this week or next week I plan to brew my partial mash Kolsch. I have been told to ferment for the first 10 days around 70 degrees, ok thats fine. I have also read and been told I should lager the brew after that for 3 weeks around 40 degrees. This is my problem. My basement ranges in different temps all over the place. I believe if I keep it by my back basement door I can ferment somewhere between 40-50 degrees. Will 50 degrees be to high to lager the Kolsch? Im going to try to get some different temp ranges later tonight down in my basement but living here outside of Boston the weather changes 24/7.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
