Hello all
I've got about a dozen ale extract kits under my belt and I'm pretty confident in my process so far, however im about to embark on my first lager and I have some questions.
I picked up a Festa Brew Bock kit, which comes with a saflager s23 yeast, this time of year in southern Ontario, my basement workshop is pretty much 14-16 degrees C which I understand is a good temperature for fermentation.
After fermentation, I will transfer to secondary and put into my cold cellar (a little room under my front porch) which fluctuates from about 1-6 degrees C, is that too cold for lagering? I was planning on leaving it in there for about 6 weeks
Does this sound like a good plan?
