Hello
I'm fairly new at making beer and currently making my first lager. I've got the 2nd stage in the carboy jug and the directions say to keep the temp between 35-44 degrees. I do not have a way to keep the temp constant so being from a colder state I am keeping it in my garage. For the most part the temps have been within the range but we've had some warm days and the temp has risen up to 50 degrees. How does this effect the fermentation proceess and does this ruin the beer?
Thanks!
