I'm brewing an American light lager with a 1.038og using saflager w-34/70. The problems I have are fermenting at the lower end of the yeast temperatures. I can only keep my cooler at an average of 48.8F and am worried the yeast will go dormant.. I ordered a new temp control to bring it up to 52ish but it wont arrive for a few days. Do you think it'll be fine? If they do go dormant, how do you "wake" them up?
Also.. I plan on using gelatin finings in the secondary after D-rest and lager in the secondary for 6 weeks. I have been using dextrose tablets from northern brewer in each bottle to carbonate. Is this still a good idea for a lager? Do I bottle at fermenting temperature and condition at fermenting temperature as well?
ALSO.. will there be enough yeast left in suspension to bottle condition after lagering? I have until mid october to finish this beer.
Lots of questions but I hope you guys can help!
