I'd like to brew authentic lagers but I don't have access to a place with lagering temperatures. I'm thinking I could use a small refrigerator. I've found some with removable shelves that should hold a 5 gallon carboy. However, the reasonably priced ones (this is obviously relative - I'm talking $160 - $200) have a temp range that maxes out at 50 degrees. Upgrading to wine coolers gives me the 55 deg temp I need (their range is 40 - 65), but the price goes up considerably. Has anyone done this and had good results? Does fermenting a lager at lower than 55 degrees work?
