Hi, I have recently been giving space in a friends cellar to ferment my brews. This is great as my current space is small and warm. This is quite the opposite, this is large but cold. I will have space for a couple of stainless steel conical fermenters.
My problems is the cellar is temperature regulated at 12 degress. (it is a pub cellar ) I have been told I am not allowed to do anything that will raise the ambient room temperature. I originally looked in to many clever ways to try heading the fermenter, this is possible, but likely to be expensive.
So my question is, has any one had success with ferment Pale ales and IPAs at 12 degrees. Is there ale yeast out there designed to do this? would a insulated jacket around the fermenter be enough with the heat it would generate it self? (i know it would still be a little on the cold side)
Should i just consider hoppy larger?
Any suggestions or comments would be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Pete
