I really want to do a lager or two since it's getting hot up these parts....
Problem is i only have one beer fridge and it currently has my kegs and tap/plumbing in it....
I can't really ditch the kegs as waiting 3 weeks for a lager to ferment before racking will mean no beer on tap for a while....
So i was thinking.....keep an ale on tap in one of the kegs and take the other out...now i can't fit a regular round fermenter in with the keg however a square 27L jerry with an airlock will fit...
So keep the temp at 10 C...serve the ale at this temp and ferment the lager at the same time...now how does the shape of the fermenting vessel affect things? I have read before that the round shapre of fermenters allows max surface area for the yeast.....will a square jerry still work?????????????????????????
cheers
