I am working on my first beer. It is the Brewer's Best European Bock. This beer is supposed to be lagered, which I did to understand when I bought it. However, the kit says you can also ferment at Ale temperatures. It gives initial lagering temps at 53-59. It says you can ferment at Ale temps of 64-72. I am not set up to lager.
My basement is currently 61, right in the middle of their range. Should I care about this temp difference? I can probably find another place in the house to make it warmer, but the temps in the basement are the most stable.
Thanks in advance for any advice. The beer was brewed in the last 24 hours.
