You may want to search out yeast strains that "operate" in your temperature range. Those temps are close to some Lager strains. As mentioned, get a temp gauge to see your real temps. Cheers!

I would definitely use the frozen berries. First, thaw...lite mash them up lightly. put them in some cheese cloth & add to the fermenter after it has been going a few days. I did this with a cherry wheat & it helped a lot. Cheers!

Hello from Myrtle Beach! Cheers!

Sveikas! Im sure that you will learn a ton on this forum....Glad you are here! Cheers!

First Lager, cant wait

So, I have a lager going right now, using Wyeast 2112. I pitched 2 packs at about 70 degrees or so...then lowered my temp ...got down to 54 degrees (f). Activity started about 12hrs later & continued for about a week, SG was 1.050. After a week, gravity was at 1.021 & this is when I started my...

Right now, I have a NB "John Q. Marblehead lager" (my first lager) working & it is in the cold crash / lagering stage. I was able to get my wine refrigerator down to 36 degrees (F). I will lager it until about the middle of May, when I will then bottle it.

I've been brewing exclusively extracts since 2006...started with a Mr Beer kit..love the hobby

Tips 1. Towel underneath your spigot 2. Have 52-55 bottles cleaned & ready to fill 3. To gauge carbonation - Fill 2 water bottles & squeeze the plastic in a little & cap...When the bottle is hard (expands) to the touch, you are close to the beer being fully carbonated..test the first, check carb...

FWIW....Get palmers book "how to brew" great for ref.....learn the basics with extract kits. Then move into all grain.

It would be wise to let it go for another 5 -7 days

If you have a Hydrometer..Take a reading to see if you have reached your final gravity. Might be done if you get the same reading multiple times

That looks delicious![emoji106]

I would try a "Bourbon Barrel Porter"...maybe add some Vanilla Beans...Make it of a higher gravity for longer ageing in the barrel. Good luck! Can't wait to see what you decide on.

Getting ready to bottle this one.

Might try the late addition method...this will help with the color
