I'm getting all of the pieces in place to begin my first homebrewing adventure. My only problem is where I'm going to ferment.
We keep our house at around 62-63 degrees in the Winter. I planned on using my basement as my primary place to ferment. From October through April it runs anywhere from 50-60 degrees. The rest of the year it is 60-70 degrees on average.
So this begs the question, should I only do lagers in the cold months, and do ales in the warmer months? I really don't have any other place to ferment.
Also, is it possible to do lagers without racking to a secondary?
