So I picked up a belt for $26 at LHBS from owner's recommendation. From what I was reading in joy of homebrewing and on net the 'quality' lager yeasts ferment well at lower temps but what I was seeing in the airlock wasn't what I should have been. The yeasts they have say to keep brew around 70-75 and next to my boiler is high 60s at best, if it's even on.
needless to say I strapped the brew belt on my honey lager (brewing my first batch properly this time) and DAMN this thing was running wild. working really well and still cruising along. ATM I have a pale ale in my keg and it is a little watered down sort of taste but that's clearly because fermenting temps were low, but is still very drinkable.. can't wait to start drinking really good tasting beer!!!![Mug :mug: :mug:](https://cdn.homebrewtalk.com/smilies/sdrinking-100-154.gif)
