I was wanting to do my first lager this weekend (a Sam Adams Winter Lager clone). I have been playing with some experiments and have found that I can get my garage fridge up to about 44degF consistently, but not any higher. I have a freezer full of food, so I can't use a temp controller because I don't want to spoil anything (and frankly, I don't want to spend the money right now). On the other hand, there is a corner in the basement that stays at 59degF pretty consistently. I have checked it morning, noon, and night with an IR thermometer and a glass of water in that spot stays pretty close to that mark.
Can I primary ferment at either 44 or 59degF? Which would be better? I can lager at any temp under 44.
Thanks! :rockin:
