Warm Enough To Brew?

[QldKev]

It's currently 32c and 76% humidity, summer has finally hit!

Will this be warm enough for me to ferment my beer or should I use a heater?

 

[kelbygreen]

I would try up the temp a little bit more if you can!! you dont want the yeast falling asleep

 

[user 10246]

I can send up a heat belt mate, can't be too careful

 

[winkle]

About friggen time.
Effing cold weather in summer, mumble f*ck.....

Let her rip W3724 :icon_cheers:

 

[bowie in space]

Looks like you got a lot of rippin' up to do winkle. No less than 23 beers planned including a few saisons, I see.

Use some dry enzyme while you're at it, cleans up those flavours.

Send the warm weather down here. I've been planning a saison for weeks but melbourne is stuck in the low 20's with a howling gale most days.

 

[troopa]

Can i recommend smelling some dandelions and sneezing into the fresh Wort as well?

JDW81 i know how you feel but on the flip side its saving me money on the brewing fridge not running all day trying to stay at 17... try crash chilling at 0 during that 40degees... sigh poor fridge(good thing SWMBO didnt know )

I'm in exactly the same boat. Thinking of just using my fermentation fridge, but where is the fun in that?!

 

[Deebo]

Just use an extra 2 kilos of sugar and an extra cup of bakers yeast and you will be right mate!

 

[user 10246]

Don't forget to microwave the grain too

I know a local brewer who loves the stuff :blink:

only if you keep your airlock bubbling and have done a full search for the answer

 

[Batz]

Big mob of tea cosys, it's not even hot yet.

 

[mgill]

40 in ipswich yesterday, surely that should be warm enough and I won't need a heat belt... what with the aircon running and a heat belt Julia is sure getting her carbon tax cut!

Ipswichians deserve the heat.


Bundy's going to be among the hottest in the state tomorrow Kev, get that bakers yeast hydrated in an open vegemite jar and make some darn good beer, lucky I'm working in gladstone where it never gets humid enough to grow mould on your nuts.....

cheers to that, imagine the productivity i can get out of this heat... I am betting on a brew a day!!! It's only my poor hops that are going to suffer out of this, morning and evening showers for them.

 

[yum beer]

C'mon guys, get serious for all the noobs who might be reading this,

your brew should be at 26c, you fuckers need temp control.

I have to agree, get serious guys!


Back ot: If its a lager kev, it should be fine mate.

Seriously, Julia must be making a pretty penny with her new carbon tax!

... apologies, 16C with homemade cheese in the fridge. Gotta love temperature control.

 

[ekul]

Love this hot weather. If the fermenter gets full sunlight i can knock out a batch every 3 days

 

[flano]

seriously ...

I have never closely looked in at the wort ferementing...until this week.
I did one the other day and was it has been sitting at approx 22 dgs ...( low as I could get it - using ice bottles and it did flucuate slighty)
.....and it looked like it was literally simmering ... hard.
I used US05

OG was 1045 . Temp was 22.

just a stock standard beer.

Is this normal?

Quickly put it on the stove and bring it to a hard boil for an hour. Don't worry, the plastic fermentor will be fine.


I feel bad for any new brewers who see this thread
