I've been reading a lot of different things about what temperature is okay to have your fermenter in....what says all of you?
It greatly depends on the type of yeast that you are using. Most ale yeasts are happy between 60 and 70F. This is the temperature of the fermenting beer, the ambient air around the beer will need to be slightly cooler. Fermenting beer produces its own heat, typically 5-10 degrees during fermentation.
That's a bummer....my garage gets pretty cold in the winter. What about blankets around the fermenter?
Also Randy, read up on lager style yeast. I've never done one, I know Yooper can give you some info on that. I do know that lagers are fermented cooler than ales.
