Hey all,
I just brewed my first lager over the weekend. There's one caveat, of course. It's a California common. Why is that a caveat? Well, because it ferments at roughly ale temperatures.
My cold room in the basement hovers around 16 C, which is appropriate for this yeast strain.
For those of you who brew lagers, how do you keep the temperature at the appropriate level? I don't have anywhere in my house where it is 6-14 C or so, and that is the range of most lager yeasts.
Is another fridge my only option?
