Hi all
I would like to make my first lager
I don't have a fridge for fermentation temp control but I do have a garage and it's winter in Canada. I have a Cool Brewing insulated bag which can completely contain my fermenter bucket.
If I get a temp controller and use it to control a belt style heater and put the bucket and heater in the insulated bag and put the whole system in the unheated garage... Would it work to ferment at 10 C And then lager at 4 C?
Probably depends on temp in garage. Let's say it will vary from -15 to 5 C. The 23 liters of beer should provide a large thermal mass which is fairly resistant to rapid change in temperature.
Has anyone tried this?
Thanks
