I ferment in my basement which provides me with a minimally fluctuating temperature. Depending on the time of year this is good with a consistent 62-65 spring, 64-68 summer, 62-65 fall... but 55-64 winter (unless its been snowing for a while). My stick on "fermometer" says that 58-62 (pretty much where I hover at in the winter) is right between both lager and ale yeasts. My question is if there is a yeast out there "perfect" for these temps and ok if it happens to drop a bit lower? I have used S-05 which had some trouble and just pitched a WYEAST 1098 smack pack on saturday.
I would like to invest into a little bit of temp control but I really just can't right now.
On a side note but on topic, does anyone have a link to a good yeast spec site or yeast database site?
