I have a chest freezer that I use to control fermentation temps, by far the best investment I have made (though my kegging equipment is definitely a close second). However my chest freezer is only capable of holding one bucket at a time (rookie mistake in purchasing the chest freezer but upgrading to something bigger isn't an option right now).
My goal is to get a steady pipeline going now that I have a few extra kegs for storage. I don't use a secondary for most of my ales, I typically do 3-4 weeks in the primary and then to the keg.
My question is after the first 2 weeks of fermentation under controlled temps can I move the fermenter out of the temp controlled area for the final 2 weeks? Ambient temp in my house this time of year is between 68 and 70. If I can do this with no ill effects then it would allow me to get a true pipeline going. Otherwise it is largely a serialized process.
Thoughts and advice would be greatly appreciated!
