What youre saying is valid and I did do some reading about in bottle lagering but I keep my normal size fridge stocked with food... so along with the other brews I have chilling its impractical for me to have other bottles in there weeks at a time. I have been looking at a local (Swedish)...

So I do not have the space or the equipment for dedicated refrigeration (YET...)...but summer is round the corner and I wouldnt mind some lighter crisper brews to enjoy in the sunshine. So I did some looking around (and some drinking) and found some info saying that a Koelsch could be...

Thanks for the responses. I assumed there would be a couple of degrees difference in the fermenter but I didnt realise 5+. So the given fermenting temps in recipes are for the fermenter itself rather than the location? So to clarify.... the little basement space I have (shared apartment...

Thanks for all the replies! Has helped a lot. Just to say Kombat.... when I said the 19 litre bit it was that the ratio of starting quantity to finishing quantity was the same. I didnt mean that the amounts converted directly. Basically I was going in using the starting wort volume as my...

Hi! Just completed my first all grain brew... everything went relatively smoothly apart from one thing. I prepared 19 litres for the mash intending to finish with 16 litres after boiling. In terms of proportion the same as what seems to be a common 6 gallon to 5 gallon ratio. I poured 14...
