I have an English Bitter kit (Innkeeper from Northern Brewer), and I want to use one of two dry yeasts: SAFALE SA-04 or DANSTAR NOTTINGHAM ALE YEAST.
I plan on keeping the beer in the primary for two weeks then another two weeks bottle conditioning. The Safale S-04 is said to enhance maltiness, and can tolerate up to 76F. My basement is what it is, and I don't think it will be below 70F for the next month or so. The Nottingham states is 70F max, which I just know my basement will be warmer than.
Sorry, no herculean ice baths or coolers for the primary. Maybe just a fan on the floor.
Any thoughts?
