I'm a few clicks and e-mails away from purchasing my freezer/temp control and ready to start brewing lagers (and ales in the hot months), but I'm worried that the slow down in my pipeline is going to bum me out. Right now I can brew about once a month - ferment for 3 weeks, then brew again.
But with beers that have to lager, and only having one freezer, I'm not sure how I can do this. Even if I have an empty carboy, if the beer has to ferment at 50 but one is lagering at 35 or 40, then I would need a 2nd freezer... right? Or more extreme, if I want to do an ale, it could be 62 versus 32.
What have you done to get around this... aside from having 2 fermentation chambers?
