I tried posting this in the fermentation section with no luck, so I will Try here.
I am planning on using my keg mini fridge to ferment an Octoberfest Lager on Monday, but I'm not sure if the temp will work. Im guessing that it will, but just want some input from the pros. The bottom of the fridge is 43 and the top of the Carboy is 50. (6-10C)
The yeast is:
Wyeast Octoberfest Lager Blend 2633
Flocculation: medium-low
Attenuation: 73-77%
Temperature Range: 48-58° F (9-14° C)
Alcohol Tolerance: approximately 9% ABV
Im guessing the wort will heat up a few degrees also due to the fermentation.
Thanks for the help!
