Ok thanks and I'll have to Have a look on the net to try find a temp controller and as for moving to Florida I wish unfortunately it's like -10 to 7 degrees Celsius here in England lol

Hmm a don't recall it being buttery or butterscotch I just know it was like it tasted like it wasn't ready lol can't really describe the taste and yeh I've had suggestions on tryin light ale first because it's easier and been told to leave in ferment bucket for 3 weeks at 64F and then siphon...

Can you adjust and maintain the temp on a brew belt or is a immersion heater the beat bet just I need to keep it at 22 degrees celsius?

Ok thanks I'll try that

Ok thanks for all your help I think I will try a light ale instead of lager this time maybe have better luck with that I will ferment it for 3 weeks at 64f then carbonate in pressure barrel for 3 weeks at 64f aswell hopefully will go well

Hi I am going to buy a piece of equipment to keep my beer at roughly 22 degrees Celsius as I live in a cold place an it's roughly 15 here was wondering best types of equipment for cheap to run and effectiveness thanks

Ok and fermentation?

Ok and if I'm using like a light ale does it have to be certain temps or will the same temp being about 15 degrees Celsius be ok?

Ok that's primary for about 3 weeks then secondary in the pressure barrel for how long another 3 weeks?

Yeh I Have been I think my temps were wrong and I heard to leave in primary for longer than a week for clear results?
