Okay, I searched but didn't really find what I need to know.
My usual schedule for ales goes like this: 18 degrees for 2 weeks, with a rise of 2-3 degrees for the last 24 or so hours. This works well.
Now, the situation is that my cold box fits only 2 fermenters.
It is currently occupied by 2 fermenters, both containing ales started 4 days ago & the majority of mega-krausen has dropped on both.
There is still obvious early fermentation (bubbles, thin krausen).
I have just pitched onto another brew & it's currently in a wardrobe (not optimal, but okay while I wait for it to kick off).
So, my problem is this: If the first two are removed from the cold box & placed in say the wardrobe (so the newie can be appropriately controlled during it's most active fermentation phase)...they may well hit up to 24 degrees over the coming days.
Does this really matter?
I'm always really strict with temperature control, however don't really know if it is quite as important once the fermentation has slowed after the initial bang.
Any advice on this one would be greatly appreciated!
