I have 2 fermentation chambers that are both occupied with two different beers. I really would like to brew another batch of beer and use one of the two chambers to temperature control the new batch (something fast fermenting, no cold crash needed). Currently, my fermentation chambers are occupied by the following beers:
Belgian Golden Strong Ale
My general question is, can I remove a beer that has been lagering at colder temps for a couple of weeks (to ferment a new batch), then return back to the larger temps. Will these major swings in temperatures cause issues? I think I would be safe moving the Belgian Golden Strong Ale to room temps and use that chamber. The Oktoberfest needs more time lagering but I wanted to hear ya'lls thought on or if you've "made room" like this in the past.
Thoughts?
