Hey all,
Being a home brew newbie still (up to my 6th K&K over a 3 year period lol) I am trying to refine my brewing process. Up until now, I've vaguely followed the directions (other than sanitisation) and the results have not suprisingly shown this.
So anyhow, I've got a brew on at the moment and I've kept it at 20c via the use of an immersion heater. My worry is that when I bottle it, will it carbonate at my current room temps (5-20c) because I'm using the supplied coopers yeast from a lager tin and it is recommended that it stays between 21-27c for a couple of weeks! I've always previously brewed in summer...
Also will the huge fluctuations in temperatures produce off flavours?
Cheers
