I'm really getting into the process of trying to re-create the authentic English Cask Ale's that I've had in England, but have only made one solid attempt so far. I conditioned at 70 and everything was just fine.
Everything I have read/seen in videos from professional brewers who make real cask ale, follow the same basic guideline:
1 week primary
2 weeks conditioning in cellar at 50-55 degrees.
Before I actually try this I keep thinking there is absolutely no way this is going to work. If you were to bottle condition at 50-55 you would have completely flat bottles after 2 weeks.
Am I missing something here?
