Hello All;
Quick question have done a couple of lagers (one each the last two winters, I know should do two at a time), and I am looking at trying the Killians Irish Red clone from Austin Homebrew, and one thing that I know is that I can't get things cold enough long enough to maintain the necessary temps for using the Americal Lager yeast that is suggested. I however could easily maintain 57-60 ish range on the concrete floor in my basement, listed temperature ranger up to 65 for the California Lager yeasts.
Anyone ever use the California Lager yeast strains from either white labs or wyeast. If so how have the beverages faired out and what temps did you ferment at?.....
Thanks in advance.
