Oh I thought you were talking about the finished beer. The chest freezer will prove to be an invaluable part of your system. Welcome to the world of lagers. Let us know how the kolsch is after a few weeks of lagering, if it lasts that long.That was on day 6. Drinking one now on day 11 and its waned considerably. (Although i really enjoyed the strong banana fruity flavor when it was there. Next brew i may just have to get some strong flavors like that, or coriander, lemon zest or etc. Love those flavors in belgians but id like to make them even stronger.
I didn't have my ferm chamber when i started fermenting so i had it fermenting next to my AC behind my projection screen and curtains. Temp back there was around 64, occasionally dropping to 60 and once up to 68 when AC was off a bit. But spent the majority of the time around 64.
Got myself a 25 cubic foot chest freezer for fermenting my next one (carbing bottles in it now at 71F).
PS: Yeast was US-05
