I brewed my first Lager last night and now I am second guessing my layering capabilities.
I planned on sitting it on my enclosed back porch, which is usually cooler than inside, but warmer than outside. The difference is definitely noticeable, but im not sure what the exact numbers are. I am using WLP 830 and the OG was 1.065.
My question is: will this method work out, or will I kill the poor yeasties? Should I bring it in at night to avoid the deep cooling (definitely sub freezing most nights)?
My other option is to put it into my freezer and bring the temp up more than normal. This will mean I have a lot of veggies to eat in the next few days, but that is a price I am willing to pay.
Thanks for any input.
