hi, i'm looking to make an oktoberfest but don't have the fancy temp control options for the fermentation (lagering itself is not a problem) so i'm probably going to go the "fermentor in a big bucket full of water and ice" route. but i had a quick question - what temp should i be looking for for that water? our tap water is pretty cold, probably less than 50, so should i be looking to get it colder with ice to make the actual fermentation temp around 50?
