I'll give that a shot! On an ideal situation, would the yeast drop out after they hit FG, regardless of temp changes? Diacetyl rest and yeast cells "cleaning up" is suposed to happen with most of them still being active? Thanks for the answers! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hey thanksfor the answer! If the yeast did drop out, will rising the temps awake it? Gravity reading is expected FG, so I guess tere isnt too mu sugar left for them. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Hey! I have it siting at 74 atm I wraped it in blankets to try keep the temp. When the active fermentation slowed down the temps droped to aroud 68-66 F is it posible that the yeast went dormant then? And if it did, would I have enough active yeast to carbonate still? Cheers! Sent from my...

Hey! thanks! how much cooling can put Belagian yeast to go dormant in your experience? I mean, how many degrees and how fast would the temperature have to fall for the yeast to go dormant? I don't have a good temperature control system, I basically open windows or turn the heating on...

Hey! Thanks for the replies! I´m gonna follow your advise and slowly rise the temps over the next days. I´ll keep it in primary for 3 more weeks and bottle then. 1 month in primary should be enough for this strain? Cheers!

Yeap, I don't know if you "have" to, but that's what I read in some posts and articles around the web. What I'm wondering is if it's gonna make any difference to rise the temp after active fermentation is done. What temp are you planing to keep your beer after it´s done with primary...

Hello to everyone! I recently brewed a Belgian blonde ale (O.G 1.065) using a Wyeast 1214, pitched a starter at 65F and for the next 2 days it fermented very actively. Rising to 70F some times, I did my best to keep it cool and within 68 F. After the first 2 days active fermentation was...
