Warm Fermented Lager Thread

Yep, been a couple years but from what I recall, I liked the result very much.

Cool thanks, I was thinking 70f at maybe 15psi

My basement this time of year is 70f but will hopefully start dropping soon. Come on fall !!!

I use a swamp cooler with ice bottles. But I've found that when I leave it alone with no ice, evaporation lowers the temperature by 2 or 3 degrees below room temperature.

I have 3 glycol controlled fermenters so its usually not an issue for me, but this will be a small batch for me, 5gal instead of my usually 15 to 25.. in a couple months my basement will be a perfect 55f haha, bad timing on my part. However I did use the swamp cooler method in the past and you make a very good point!

Everybody gotta piss off the yeast.

No pressure needed.

I brewed a German Doppelbock at 68F with no pressure in my basement with 833 about 18 months ago. Turned out great.
From the research I did at the time it was the same for many, one of the best yeasts for doing a warm fermented lager.

I brewed a Helles on June 15 using 34/70 at 66F. I don't like it. Kind of fruity. No sulphur or diacetyl. I won't do it again.
