Almost Lager Weather

[bonk]

I went to check on a oatmeal stout i was making in the old fridge and have discovered a rather unusual occurence. I may need a heat belt for my brew !! ... in Darwin

Yes its been 16C in my fermenting fridge, no wonder its been slow going for the ferment.

Might have to sneak in a lager while no one is looking B)

I got a US0 sitting on 14-15 it is starting to show signs of ferment so hope that warms the fridge up. Went to put my light in but the arse end fell apart and its not fixable so will have to try warm it up some how.

it's well below 10 down in Melbourne. Could just about turn the fridges off and leave all my beer outside to keep cool.

Bloody hell, it didn't get UP to 10 here on Wednesday.

Yep, I was just typing a response myself, these poor buggers are talking minimums... this time of the year I've got stuff in the fridge to keep it UP to 16 as a maximum...

I tell you what vic45, I reckon we are in for an old-school winter down here.

Yep, with 150 odd years of records, over millions of years of the earths existence, we surely can understand the weather!

Sorry, had to say....

Global warming, MEH!


:icon_drunk:

Carry on.

Tell me about it - also ACT. Have the grains and hops weighed, fermenter sanitised and a -2 degrees in the garage min eans this brewer is having eggs on toast and waiting until the afternoon. Also not doing a lager. When it is this cold your palette says dark ales, stouts, not cold refreshing lager, so mentally hard to get motivated for them...... This one will be an IPA with amirillo and nelson, and then I am having a crack at the white rabbit clone v2 recipe tomorrow (but will be dry hopping pacific gem given subsequent comments in the WHDA clone string).

re 1) "...When it is this cold your palette says dark ales, stouts, not cold refreshing lager, so mentally hard to get motivated for them..."

Two lagers fermenting in the attached pic, a Munich & a Vienna. Each includes some Carafa. ie. 'dark'...

2) "Almost Lager Time". Fridgemate equals twelve months a year 'LagerTime' in Nicholls. If desired...

Cheers
