Looks like I will finally have a brew day coming up !!!
Basement is a steady 64 degrees.
I'm planning on 2 wheat beers, a crystal and a dunkel.
My concern is the fermenting temp profile.
1. What is optimal for a rich tasting wheat beer with clove and banana hints?
2. Will I be able to keep the fermenting temp in the happy zone with 64 degrees ambient air temps?
3. If I will be pushing the danger zone, will a swamp cooler be good enough? or will it require ice bottles in the water bath?
Thanks for putting up with all my rookie questions !!
