How to reach coller fermentation temps?

[jmorter1]

I want to brew a nice session beer this weekend for an upcoming NFL fantasy draft party. When I lived in Dusseldorf I was a huge of fan of the classic Altbier and figured this would be the best candidate. My only problem is that I have now way of controlling the fermentation at lower temperatures. I was wondering if anybody had any tips on how to maintain around 60-65* F. I've done the coldwater bath with a t-shirt around the carboy wicking up water. Would this work with some frozen 2L bottles in the water? Thanks in adavance for the help.

Depending on Fermenter size you could buy a mini fridge or small freezer from Sam's Club.

Cheaper is a big plastic tub and wet towel/tee shirt withe the addition of bottles of ice. I keep 3 1/2 gallon bottles in my freezer at all times You'd probably need at least 4 bottles and change them out twice a day at minimum. The more you can freeze the better you can control temp.

Not sure of your budget, but a freezer hooked up to a digital thermometer works well.
