I just put on a brew of Heineken style lager (the Brewcraft concoction) in my 25L fermenter. I have my fermenters in the cellar which is constantly at around 20deg C but for lagers it needs to drop to below 15deg C... I put a couple of ice packs around the fermenter and one on top with a wet towel over the lot and overnight the icepacks melted and the fermenter was only at 18deg C.
Is there any other way to keep a fermenter this cold without putting it in a fridge? Because my fridge has no setting for certain temperatures, only numbered settings which probably range between 1 deg and 5 deg.
Note: I used the Saflager yeast instead of the cap yeast... so it has to be under 15 deg to work!
