Just wondering on a good temp to ferment a Morgan's Golden Saaz Pilsener.
I'm new to this Lager yeast, as I usually do ales in my heated brew cupboard.
The prob is my thermostat only goes down to 18deg which I know is way too high for Lager yeast.
Is the Morgan's a true Lager yeast?
I have been told their Ale Yeast is Mauribrew Ale 514 and was wondering if their Lager was the Mauribrew Lager 497?
And if so what would a good temp be?
And what is a good temp to pitch the yeast at?
I was planning:-
Morgan's Golden Saaz Pilsener Kit
400 grams LDME
600 grams Dex
Hopefully fermented in a spot at around about 12 deg constant
With the above recipe and conditions what time frame am I looking, if all goes well, at fermentation finishing?
I will be bottling it, so is it also advisable to bottle carb it at the same 12deg for around ten days?
Sorry for the million questions
Any help will be greatly appreciated
