Too Cold?

[HarrisonHomeBrew]

How cold is too cold to lager? The warmest I can get my freezer that I was going to use as a lagerator is 34 F. Is that too cold? My other option is my basement which is 58 F right now.

I lager at 34 degrees and it works ok for me.

Get a digital temp controller. Basically works by a probe in your carboy or the freeze-a-menter and the freezer itself is plugged into the controller. Turns the freezer on/off based on the temp you set, completely bypassing the freezer's temp controller. Lets you temp control even in the hottest summer months.

Your basement is ok for fermentation and the freezer is fine for lagering.
