I have 2 fermenters, but only one bucket to use as a water bath.
I'd like to brew more frequently and since I only have one water bath bucket...I gotta wait for the 3 weeks to pass before I can brew again.
Is it okay to keep the fermenter at 60 F for a week and then just take it out and leave at room temperature (which is about 73-74 here now) and wait for the rest of the fermentation at room temperature?
NOTE: I live in Spain...summers are kinda hot...I guess my closet will get as warm as 80-81 F. This is the main reason why I am asking this question. The yeast I am using is SAFALE S0-4. I have read that it produces a lot of ester if the batch is kept warm.
