I am in the market for a 15.0 CF chest freezer. I own 12 corney's, 4 carboys and two co2 tanks that I have purchased over the last 6 months in preperation for my RIMS completion (DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!)
I plan to buy an external t/stat to regulate temps and I know different beers ferment and age at different temps. I am going to go out on a limb and ask:
Is there a temperature I can ferment and age (for example 60*) that won't affect the beer (or make yeast dormant) even though alot of beers require certain temps?
I want to be able to ferment all four carboys at the same time while four other corney's (previously racked beer aging) are in the same freezer set at the temperature.
Once they are ready I can force carbonate, leave the c02 cylinder hooked up for a few days, transfer to my kegerator....wait til it chills and drink.
I just finished my RIMS and plan to brew until I have atleast 30 gallons of beer. I have no place to store it...the garage temps are unpredicatable (SoCal) and my wife doesn't want the carboys in the house....
Thanks
